  • 40 pages, and ten of them record what actually LEFT the house - which every other declutter planner omits
  • Without that record the work does not stick: a house that is slightly emptier looks identical, so you cannot see that anything changed
  • And six weeks later somebody asks where a thing is, and nobody knows whether it was sold, given away, or is in a box in the garage
  • The things that leave a house are not all rubbish. Some are sold, some go to a person by name, some go back to whoever lent them, and some are being kept for someone who has not collected them
  • Those get different columns, because they have different endings
  • No method is named and no method's wording appears - no question to ask an object, no folding instruction, no category order, no numbered challenge, no thirty-day anything
  • It does not tell you what to keep. A file that judges what is in a house is a file that has no idea what any of it is for
  • No timeline, because a clear-out takes the time it takes and a printed schedule is what turns it into another failure

What is inside

Forty pages, and ten of them record what actually left the house.

WHAT LEFT

Every declutter planner on sale is a list of what to do. None of them record what actually went, and that omission is why the work does not stick.

Two things happen without it. You cannot see that anything changed, because a house that is slightly emptier looks identical. And six weeks later somebody asks where a thing is, and nobody knows whether it was sold, given away, or is still in a box in the garage.

The things that leave a house are not all rubbish, either. Some are sold, some go to a person by name, some go back to whoever lent them, and some are being kept for somebody who has not collected them. Those get different columns, because they have different endings.

NO METHOD IS NAMED

The named decluttering systems are somebody's books and trademarks, and this file reproduces none of them. No question to ask an object, no folding instruction, no category order, no numbered challenge, no thirty-day anything.

It also does not tell you what to keep. A file that judges what is in a house is a file that has no idea what any of it is for.

And no timeline. A clear-out takes the time it takes, and a printed schedule is what turns it into another failure.

INSIDE

· Twelve room sheets - what is actually in there, what is not yours, and what you have not opened in a year

· Ten pages of what left, with where it went and the date

· A sell log with what you asked, what you got, and whether it was worth the afternoon

· A given log, by person, because "donated" is not the same as "given to Ruth"

· A waiting page for things being kept for somebody, with the date you told them by

· An after page for what came back in, honestly

Hyperlinked throughout. Mono and colour, every device edition in the box. Personal use.
