Open a declutter by tipping out the entire drawer, bin or pile in the first seconds. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 20x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head, Voiceover.

## Why it works

The loud, messy start gives an instant jolt and sets up a sorting payoff.

## How to make it

1. Tip everything onto the counter or floor in the first second
2. State the scope or deadline
3. Sort item by item in rapid cuts

## Hook formula

Decluttering [N] things: [space], dump it all out

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
