beginner⏱ Rough guide only: 1 hour
How do I make a decluttering plan with AI?
Tell ChatGPT or Claude your home's rooms, the worst areas and how many minutes a day you have, and ask for a week-by-week plan of short daily tasks with a simple keep, donate or sell rule. Small daily sessions make it manageable.
