  Storage Ideas for a Rental You Cannot Alter

  No drilling, no painting, nothing that leaves a mark. What actually holds weight and what pulls the paint off.

Most people do not fail at this because they are lazy. They fail because nothing tells them where to start.

• What should I do right now?

  Tell it how long you have and how you are actually feeling. It picks one job. If you say you cannot face it, it ignores your answer about time, which is the point.

  Ask it

• Build your cleaning schedule

  Four questions about your household and you get a routine sized to your actual house rather than a stock one. Print it and stick it on a cupboard door.

  Build it

• Should I keep this?

  Hold the thing. Four questions about that one object and you get a decision rather than a framework, plus where it goes if the answer is no.

  Decide it

• What's for dinner?

  Three questions at half past five and you get an answer. Not a recipe: the kind of dinner tonight is, which is the part everyone actually gets stuck on.
