What you will get

A 30-day plan with a 15 to 30 minute task each day, clear rules for what to keep, sell, donate or bin, advice for sentimental items and ways to stop clutter returning.

Common mistake

The tasks are too big for the time.

Fix: Tell it the real minutes you have and ask it to shrink any day that would take longer.

Also watch for

Sentimental items stall you. Put them in one box with a date and review it later. Do not decide on them in week one.
Donations pile up by the door. Book a pickup or a drop-off day before you start, as the tip says.

Try a variation: make it a family plan

Ask for versions of the daily task for children and adults, plus a short weekly reset everyone can do together.

Reorder the 30 days so it starts with the easiest room, and give me a one-line checklist for each day that I can tick off.
