- Today I am doing an extreme declutter in my basement. I’ll be working on the unfinished part of the basement that has been neglected for years and filled with so much stuff 🤦♀️
This will definitely take me more than one week to go through everything and be able to declutter and organize it all so this will be part 1 of my basement declutter and organize.
Going through my house and declutteting room to room and drawer by drawer has been a ton of work and extremely rewarding. My house is so much more peaceful and enjoyable to be in ❤️
I hope you decide to declutter with me.

You’re the “comic relief” of decluttering. You’re so cute because you don’t take yourself too seriously.
Thank you Sandra ❤️
I am the exact same way when cleaning XD I see a big mess that needs to be cleaned and go "Oh no... I don't want to..." But then as soon as you start, you start to see the progress and it's like "Why didn't I do this sooner?"
You are way too relatable when it comes to decluttering and organizing!
Pro tip: When you're cleaning a space and find too many papers to look through, place them in a box or pile. When you're done cleaning for the day, sit down on your couch or in a chair and look through the paper hoard slowly. Look through a little bit everyday until it's done. You never need to look through everything at once. Take it at your own pace!
The look on your face at the beginning of this video! Seriously made me laugh out loud. Such an overwhelming project but you are rocking it!
Ohhhh I love the clean out of this room. It looked so overwhelming at first. But you tackled it and did great. Quite a few years ago my sister and I did this at our moms house. We had so much fun. We organized all her decorations in plastic bins per holiday. This brings back wonderful memories for me. Thank you Jodi.
Alice I wasn’t sure how much I could actually accomplish but I was super happy with all I got done ❤️
I've taken your advice. I stopped trying to do it all in one day now I do it in my time frame. Thank you. Love your channel. So much fun
That’s great Joy ❤️❤️❤️
Another great decluttering!
You are way ahead of me on this journey and kudos to you for taking the items to donation/trash/recycling immediately. That sometimes is the hardest part, lol.
Just came across your channel for the first time today. I inherited my sister's house when she passed. She was close to being a hoarder. A younger brother who is more or less transient also stored so much stuff here over the years. Add to that all my things. I have been slowly working on decluttering. It's been very overwhelming!! This video gives me hope. God bless you.
I like the idea of doing a little decluttering at a time. My energy level doesn't last long enough to do over a half hour or hour. Thanks for the motivation.
Jody your upbeat energy is the best!! Excited to see how part 2 turns out!!
Jodi, you have no idea how much joy you bring to my life ❤ We lost our 31 year old son on January 10 and. I am beginning VERY slowly to take little control back in my life(and in my clutter!). I love having ANY of your videos on in the background! You have been a blessing to me in so many ways!
Oh Chris!!! Saying I’m so sorry for your loss just isn’t enough. My heart breaks for you. I wish I knew what to say but please know I will keep you in my thought and prayers. I’m sending you big big hugs and I’m so happy to know my videos help in any way 🤗🤗
Hi Chris! I've just found this video and read your comment. Please accept my sincere condolences about your precious son. God bless you and comfort you even now.
My garage is the catch all. When I opened the door I should not have been surprise but I would send my husband out with boxes. They were piled up everywhere. 👍🏾❤❤❤
When I moved Christmas lights out of cardboard boxes and into plastic crates,. I cut up strips of the card board box, lengthwise, about a foot long, about 6 inches wide, and wrapped individual strands of lights around the cardboard piece and put them in the crate that way. It took time yet made the lights neater when it came to putting them out at Christmas and when it was time to put the lights back into storage 😁
Great job pushing past the dread and getting so much done, Jodi!
I can’t wait to see how the whole basement turns out!
I found the best way to get rid of a lot of garbage-make friends with the garbage man! Mine used to push my cans back up to my garage for me! I wish he was still in my area because I have a huge thick cardboard box to get rid of!
Wow. Good idea to get rid of all cardboard. Mice love it.
Awesome job!!! I love that you laugh at yourself. I can't wait to see the completed job. You go girl!!!!!👍
Hi Jodi! It's Hannah! I am so impressed with how much you get done each time. This one was particularly impressive. And I love the idea of not committing to more than an hour at a time. I just feel like I'd be moving things from one side of the room to the other until the hour was done and then do the same thing the next day. I need to work on that myself.
Thank you Hannah ❤️
Yes it can be like. Moving stuff from one space to another. That’s why I always start with 2 garbage bags. One for donations and one for trash and I try to seek out trash right away so I know I’m actually getting stuff out ❤️
I live in the South, so I am glad I don't have a basement. I have a small walk-in attic that holds my seasonal decor. I have 8 bins and that is it. I have decluttered over and over again. This process never stops. I think twice before I buy something. I like clean organized spaces. You are doing great! Keep up the great work.
Great job!!! For your tv’s and other electronic items (vcr’s, stereos, computers), check with your trash/recycle/waste management company. For my waste management company, they have trash, recycling and electronic drop off along with an area where people bring things that are still decent (tables, chairs, dressers, etc.) so others can go look through it all. And to move those tv’s, get a doly to move them. Makes it a whole lot easier. I purchased one years ago and use it for everything. As for paperwork…I moved to an apartment in 1999. I had a box of paper that I brought to the apartment. In 2020 I purchased a home and move the same box of paper to the new home…when I finally found it, I found so many things dated from 1995-1999!!! Now I shred once a week!
Great job Jodi! As far as the old TVs, I live in North Carolina and about twice a year our city has a drop off place for old electronics, old paint, etc and they take those TVs! maybe your area has something similar? Looking forward to part 2!
You did so well! Do little by little!💕
In Sweden - and probably at a lot of places in the US - we have big recycling stations (in the bigger towns) where you can put electronics, glass, wood, paper, garden stuff, etc. At least here in Gothenburg, you can take your stuff for free 6 times per year, after that there is s small fee.
We are lucky in Scotland as we can go to the recycling depot as often as we need to. We can also arrange an uplift for furniture or bulky items up to 3 times a year for a small fee. They will even pick up refrigerators from the kerbside by appointment
She mentioned Staples for electronics recycling. That's what I do too.
I think I say this after each video but wow what an amazing transformation! You really have this decluttering thing down!! I follow your couponing channel so I love seeing your stockpile on display :) I’m so glad you found a system that works for you!
Love watching videos like this before decluttering my own spaces. Thanks for sharing : )
❤️❤️❤️
Mice can get into plastic bins too! I love the burbs, the wildlife (but the deer eat the plants and shrubs), and the clear sky at night.
I too have Beanies, a computer from 1989, and boxes of paperwork! We have receipts from the 70's - I could fill the gas tank for under $5.00.
I think I became like my mother at the age of 20!
Hi from Sweden! That shelf/chest, wouldn’t That maybe be good for your daughters art supplies upstairs?
One thing you can do to deter mice is place cotton balls soaked in either peppermint or clove essential oil, in places they may becoming in, and places they may make nests. You inspire me to get downstairs and tackle the mess I've been avoiding.
This was so fun to watch as you are so real. I can't watch the people that have fancy matching bins with fancy labels. I don't need my stuff organized like that. My husband is so lucky that I don't have a basement as he already thinks I have too much stuff. LOL! I'm so envious of all of your shelving!
WOW! You got so much done. How awesome that you can provide so many supplies to your whole family! "The store has alcohol now" made me laugh.
Sharon wasn’t that funny 😂😂
I have been watching your videos like I watch Scandinavian crime thrillers! Don't make me wait for the next episode!
Awesome job! A great reminder that working in chunks can make a huge difference!
"Oh my God the store has alcohol now ? .......too funny . What a wonderful surprise for your daughter .....👌🏻
Hi Jodi, you was a lady on a mission in that basement. In the UK we have tips that take anything you want to dispose off. They have special bins for televisions,electrical item, white goods. When I’m having a sort out we pile it all in suv and have a trip there. Not sure if you have the same in USA. Great job, love your Chanel. Xx
Wen I worked at a grocery store , the had Era detergent on sale and with my discount it was dirt cheap ! Sooooo...I bought 24...yes 24 bottles ! Didn't have to buy laundry detergent for a long, long, lone time ! Loved it !!
For the old TVs contact your trash company. Ours has a couple of times a year they take electronic recycling at no cost. If they don't have something similar they may be able to tell you where you can take it. Great job decluttering!
I love how youre laughing about the mess and the two TVs. I really love that deeep breath at the beginning. I feel it. Greets from germany
I just found your channel tonight. I saw you declutter a few cabinets in your kitchen and make a new knife drawer, then I watched this video. You are just one of those naturally funny people and I smiled the whole time.
Awe thank you so much Jenna ❤️❤️
I'm laughing my a$$ off 😂😂😂 that's how my garage looks. It will take me years to get through that mess. I feel you on so many levels when you said "I don't want to do it" 😂😂😂 been saying that for the past 5 years about garage 😂😂😂 everything goes in the garage. I may actually cry when I have to do it. This is going to be amazing for your stock pile!!! Super excited for you! You are a damn rock star and I wish I had your energy!! Thanks for all of your life tips and motivation!!! Such a beautiful person inside and out 💖💘
Beth I get it!! It’s freaking overwhelming when there is so much stuff. I know you can do it though 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
In the early 2000's, I worked at Cracker Barrel restaurant and the retail section always had a big selection of adorable Beanie Babies. I think I bought abt 20 over the length of a year. When I moved in 2003 into my own apartment from my parent's house, I did donate abt 15 of the BBs....but I still have my absolute two faves: a little rat and ram, all in pretty shades of pink and purple. I just can't bear to part wth them lol.
Your videos are the only one's that motivate me to start declutter and organize.
Awe I’m happy it helps motivate you Joy ❤️
Wow!! you made huge progress! One of the best pieces of advice I was given when I got married was to never store boxes/bins on the floor. That has saved me more than once from water damage, bug problems, etc. It makes sweeping so much easier, too! I'm gonna check out how you get free laundry detergent!
Thank you Colleen 🤗
Just found you when I most need a ton of hope to get started on a cellar like yours! I like your realism. I'm not good at opening boxes of random items, often from house moving 5 years ago. I put them to one side and say " I'll do that later ".
Thanks for putting the effort in to share with us all. X
That jewelry holder might be an amazing art supply chest for your girls!!!! 🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨 All those drawers for small things!!! Like jewelry making supplies, pencils, small paintbrush, small tools… 🖼 ✏️ 🎨 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Hey friend! I had my kitchen looking great! Even posted pictures in a FB group that I'm in. Then my lupus was like, "Nope!" So for a week, I was down and had to rest. Well, my lovely daughters, didn't do their turns with dishes. It was a hot mess. They each did a turn yesterday and today. I woke up at 1am. So I got up and finished that kitchen, AGAIN! Man, ya gotta do the up keep. But reality is, we live here! Hahaha. However, All dishes complete. Floors swept and washed. Those little squirts are putting away the dishes tomorrow. Lol. I'm pooped.
Totally enjoyed the declutter of your basement, love the wooden shelves. Your talking was funny & you having the memories makes me think of how I also would have the memories.
Have to say, you have inspired this Michigan girl! LOVE your laugh and tenacity!
Awe thanks Erin 🤗🤗
I like how you are so real.
It is a breath of fresh air.
Thank you Laura ❤️
Thoroughly enjoyed this real declutter and organise.
Love that you have donated so much, someone is going to be very grateful and
happy to give this a home the joy those toys will bring I thank you for this, hope it catches on
I hate it when people list their unwanted and often left for years items knowing how difficult things have become for so many 😊
I would use the jewellery cabinet as a filing cabinet for paper work , I would sandpaper it down then varnish it a very dark brown, I would take out the mirror in the lid and frame it.
Omg! It looks so amazing!
You are doing so great in your home declutter! I’m so excited for you!!!!
Love basements! Most homes in the south don't have basements. I miss that!!
Thanks for the motivation! Watching you get organized along with your positive energy is encouraging me to do the same!
It looks like a store all stacked pretty. You go Girl. I can’t wait for next week 💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸
I cant wait to see how all your decluttering looks when you are all done!! 😊
Great job! It’s amazing how fast we collect stuff. 😊
Love the transformation! But I’d waste so much time just staring at that gorgeous laundry wall 😂
I'm so proud of you! You're doing fantastic! Cheering you on each video 🥰
Love your decluttering videos. It is amazing how much can be done in chunks of time! Thank you.
😍🤩 Organizing and Couponing are my two favorites!! Love watching the progress you’ve made on this journey. Great job Jodi!! 🤩😍
Looks great!! Organization is soothing for your soul! And so is a well stocked stockpile!
Looks great. It’s really motivating me. Thanks
My husband is in the garbage industry and has dealt a lot with recycling. If there isn’t an electric waste collector in your area you can take it to the dump. They usually have have a collection area for electronics.
Thanks for sharing the motivation! 😊❤️👏🏽
Love watching you declutter and organize - and redecorate. Always motivates me to keep going. Looking forward to checking out your couponing channel.

GOOD JOB JODI. I love the way you time yourself. Thanks for being realistic.
❤️❤️❤️
Love the progress!! It looks good!👍 😊
I just love your videos. I could watch them for hours. Thank you so much. You are doing a fabulous job.

Very satisfying. Great job

Congratulations! You're killing it. Great job.
I am excited to see the rest of the basement done. Looks great so far. Sending thoughts of motivation from South Dakota, and thanks for sharing with us.
For the old tvs, check with your city's waste management. A lot of cities have programs that allow you to bring in old electronics and such for either disposal or recycling.
I am loving all these decluttering videos!
Every time I hear “hello, hello, hello!” I get so excited! Thanks for sharing all you do!
Wow what a difference ! Cant wait for part 2. I love how real you keep your videos and how honest you are thank you xxx
Thanks so much Helen ❤️
