The 15 minute rule wrecked my Sunday purge in Tulsa

Everyone in this group swears by the 15 minute timer trick for decluttering. I tried it last Sunday with my spare room, set the alarm, and stopped right on time. Three days later I can already see that half done pile of old files and shoes just sitting there mocking me. The problem is stopping mid task makes the mess look worse, so I ended up staring at it all week feeling guilty. I finished the room yesterday in one 3 hour push and it felt way better than those tiny wins. Does anyone else find the timer method actually makes clutter anxiety worse instead of better?

Did your timer actually make you stop and walk away mid-project too? My buddy tried the 15 minute thing on his garage and just left a pile of camping gear on the driveway for a week, then finished it in one angry afternoon.
