Why it works

Quick steps

  1. Set a 10-minute timer.
  2. Clear one shelf or drawer.
  3. Keep only what you use or love.
  4. Stop when the timer ends.
Make it stick: Pick the smallest version you can do on a bad day. That’s your baseline.

When in doubt: reduce friction, set a default, and repeat it long enough to become automatic.
