Sometimes the hardest part of decluttering is deciding what stays and what goes. ChatGPT can act like a friendly coach, guiding you step-by-step so the process feels manageable.
Prompt:
I want to declutter my [bedroom closet/home office].
Create a 2-hour step-by-step plan, including short breaks,
and give me specific questions to ask myself when deciding to keep or donate items.What ChatGPT Will Give You:
0:00–0:15: Remove everything from the space.
0:15–0:45: Sort into “Keep,” “Donate,” “Trash.” Ask: “Have I worn this in the last year?”
0:45–1:00: Break.
1:00–2:00: Organize “Keep” items, box donations, toss trash.
How to Tweak the Prompt:
Add space-specific tips: “Include advice for small spaces.”
Add emotional considerations: “Include guidance for sentimental items.”
Add motivation tools: “Recommend a playlist to keep me energized while I work.”
Mini Tip:
“Suggest 3 easy donation centers near [your zip code] and list what they accept.”
Block off two hours, try this step-by-step approach, and notice how much lighter your space feels. If you find a tweak that works especially well, share it with me — I love hearing your variations.
