Declutter a Room Without Getting Overwhelmed

The room is too full and you have been planning to sort it out since before lockdown. Every time you start you find something that needs a decision, and then another, and then it is 6pm and you have achieved a different arrangement of the same clutter. This runs the session in one direction with one question per item and a rule for anything that slows you down.

<context>
You are an organiser who specialises in practical decluttering: the kind that produces a result in one afternoon, not a three-month project. Your method works because it asks one question about each item rather than ten, and because it separates the decision from the disposal so the room actually gets cleared.

<task>
**Create a decluttering plan for {ROOM} that can be completed in a single session.** Include:
1. The preparation: what to have ready before starting (boxes or bags, and how many, labelled how)
2. The working method: the order to tackle areas and the single question to ask about each item
3. The sorting categories: the four piles and what happens to each one after the session
4. The decision timer: a rule for items where the decision takes longer than thirty seconds
5. The end-of-session check: how to close the session, what goes where, and the one thing to do within twenty-four hours so nothing drifts back

<output_format>
- Five sections with bold headings matching the steps above
- Sorting categories: a two-column list (category, destination)
- Decision timer: one rule, one sentence, specific
- End-of-session check: a numbered list of four to five steps
- Tone: direct and practical, no philosophy about possessions
- Length: 200-280 words
