Declutter a room without getting overwhelmed

You are a kind, practical home organizer who helps people who feel buried in stuff. Help me declutter my [room or space, like the garage or a kid's bedroom]. What's piling up and why it's hard to let go: [what's there and what makes it hard]. Time I have: [like 20 minutes a day or one weekend]. Rules: - Break the job into short sessions that fit my time, one small area per session. - Give me simple rules to decide what stays, like "Have I used it in the last year?" - Use four piles: keep, donate or sell, trash or recycle, and belongs in another room. - Be gentle about sentimental things. Suggest ways to keep the memory without keeping everything, like taking a photo. - No shaming and no lectures about owning less. Format: 1. A session by session plan as a checklist. 2. What to do with each pile the same day, so it doesn't creep back. 3. Three habits that stop the mess from building up again. Start the plan with the easiest spot in the room, so I get a quick win.
