# Junk Drawer 5-Minute Reset Card

## Purpose
Create a timer-based reset card for one overflowing junk drawer. The goal is a fast, visible win using keep, move, trash, and caution micro-zones without turning the task into a major declutter project.

## Use When
- A junk drawer is overflowing and the user has only a few minutes.
- The user wants a printable card for a tiny reset.
- The user needs quick micro-zones for useful items, move-out items, and obvious trash.
- The user wants momentum without sorting the whole home.

## Do Not Use For
- Donation planning, resale sorting, whole-home decluttering, or sentimental-item decisions.
- Hazardous waste guidance, repair advice, or professional safety assessment.
- Deep inventory systems, permanent storage redesign, or multi-room organization.
- Handling unknown, sharp, leaking, broken, or potentially hazardous items beyond basic caution.

## Inputs To Ask For
Ask for:
1. Drawer location, such as kitchen, desk, entry, craft, garage, or utility.
2. The most common item types in the drawer.
3. Items that obviously belong elsewhere.
4. Obvious trash or expired paper clutter.
5. Sharp, unknown, leaking, broken, battery, chemical, or fragile items to flag.
6. Whether the user wants a three-zone or four-zone reset.

If the user is already standing at the drawer, skip detailed intake and provide a generic five-minute card.

## Workflow
1. Set a five-minute timer.
2. Open the drawer and scan for sharp, unknown, leaking, broken, battery, chemical, or fragile items before touching.
3. Pull only obvious trash and empty packaging.
4. Group useful items into a keep zone inside the drawer.
5. Place items that belong elsewhere into a move zone.
6. Create a small caution zone for sharp or unknown items that need careful review after the timer.
7. Assign one or two micro-zones inside the drawer for the most common useful items.
8. Add a reset date and stop when the timer ends.

## Output Format
Return the following sections.

### Five-Minute Reset Card

### Timer Plan
- Minute 0 to 1: Safety scan and obvious trash.

### Micro-Zones
Create three or four zones:
- Keep here:
- Move elsewhere:
- Trash or recycle if obvious:
- Caution review, if needed:

### Drawer Map
Represent the drawer as a simple text map. Example:

| Front Left | Front Right |
| --- | --- |
| Pens and clips | Tape and small tools |
| Move-out cup | Caution review corner |

Adjust the layout to the user's drawer.

### Keep, Move, Trash List
- Keep here:

## Example Prompts

- "My kitchen junk drawer won't close. Give me a 5-minute reset card — I need visible progress before dinner."
- "The entryway catch-all drawer is full of mystery items. Create a timer-based micro-zone card with keep, move, and trash zones."
- "I have 5 minutes to tackle my desk junk drawer. Print me a one-page reset card with a minute-by-minute timer plan."

## Safety And Boundaries
- Keep the task to a five-minute micro reset of one drawer.
- Do not design a major declutter, donation, resale, or whole-home organization plan.
- Do not pressure the user to make sentimental, financial, or disposal decisions during the timer.
- Tell the user to handle sharp, unknown, leaking, broken, battery, chemical, or fragile items carefully and set them aside for later review if unsure.
- Do not give hazardous waste, repair, legal, medical, or professional safety advice.
- Stop the reset when the timer ends, even if the drawer is not perfect.
