Room-by-room declutter checklist

A checklist removes the hardest decision in decluttering: where to start. DeclutterDash includes a checklist of common clutter hotspots for eight areas of the home, from the junk drawer and food containers to old chargers, outgrown clothes and boxes from the last move.

    Plan your sprints

    Zones

    Saved you some time? Leave a tip, entirely optional.

    Pick the areas you want, choose how long each sprint lasts and how many to do per day, then print the checklist and stick it on the fridge. Ticked items are saved if you use it on screen.

    How a declutter sprint works

    Choose a sprint length, fifteen minutes is the classic, and press Start sprint. Work on one small area only: a drawer, a shelf, a corner of the room. Pick up each item and decide straight away whether to keep it, donate it, throw it out, recycle it, sell it or put it away where it belongs, and tap the matching counter. When the timer chimes, stop, even if you are mid-drawer. DeclutterDash logs the sprint with the number of things that left the house.

    Stopping on time matters. It keeps decluttering from becoming a dreaded marathon and makes it easy to start again tomorrow. Take the donate bag to the car right away so the items actually leave.

    Planning a whole home

    Tick the zones you want to work on and choose how many sprints you can manage each day. DeclutterDash packs the tasks for those zones into sprints that fit your timer and spreads them across days, so you can see how long the whole job will take. Tick tasks off on screen or print the checklist. With every zone selected and fifteen minute sprints, the plan comes to 38 sprints, a little over eight hours of work, which at two sprints a day takes under three weeks.

    Private by design

    DeclutterDash has no accounts and no server-side storage. Your plan, ticks and tallies stay in this browser and are saved in local storage on this device only.
