Why This Matters

{"hook":"Most people hate decluttering because it's overwhelming. AI removes the paralysis by breaking it into manageable steps and providing decision frameworks.","body":"Decluttering feels overwhelming because you're forced to make thousands of micro-decisions. AI changes this by identifying duplicate items, suggesting which ones you likely won't use, and creating strategic sequences that build momentum.","asia_lens":"Asian households often reflect cultural values: keeping family heirlooms, preserving items for future use, and maintaining space for guests. AI respects these nuances. Asian homes also often have smaller square footage, making space optimisation critical in Hong Kong apartments, Bangkok condos, or Mumbai flats."}
