⏳ 90/90 Decluttering Rule Tracker

What the tracker actually tests

One comparison per row, against a fixed threshold:

days since last used >= 90  →  Consider letting go
days since last used <  90  →  Keep

The two example rows show the split: a blender at 400 days is flagged, a winter coat at 60 days is not. Exactly 90 counts as flagged, since the test is "90 or more".

The half of the rule you supply yourself

The 90/90 rule has two questions: have you used it in the past 90 days, and will you use it in the next 90? Only the first is arithmetic, so that is all this page checks. Everything flagged yellow is a prompt to answer the second question, not a verdict.

• Seasonal items break the test. Ask in July and your ski boots read 200 days. They fail the past-90 half and pass the future-90 half, so they stay.
• Insurance items break it too. Fire extinguisher, spare tyre, tool for one specific repair - not using these is the point.
• Duplicates rarely survive. The third vegetable peeler is flagged because there was no reason to reach past the first two.

Estimate the days rather than agonising over them. The gap between 100 and 140 changes nothing; the gap between 30 and 300 is the whole answer.
