- 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.
Jody your upbeat energy is the best!! Excited to see how part 2 turns out!!
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.
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.
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!
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 pushing past the dread and getting so much done, Jodi!
I can’t wait to see how the whole basement turns out!
I have been watching your videos like I watch Scandinavian crime thrillers! Don't make me wait for the next episode!
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.
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 ❤️
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!
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
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!
Hi from Sweden! That shelf/chest, wouldn’t That maybe be good for your daughters art supplies upstairs?
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!
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.
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 😁
"Oh my God the store has alcohol now ? .......too funny . What a wonderful surprise for your daughter .....👌🏻
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… 🖼 ✏️ 🎨 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
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. 👍🏾❤❤❤
Oh my gosh this was so satisfying. My moms basement is so much worse but now it seems like cleaning it out might not be impossible after all.
I’d keep one of those tv’s for your VCR and any old game consoles. The new tv’s aren’t very compatible with old tech. Otherwise I’m afraid you might have to send it to the curb.
Can’t wait for part 2!
Omg! It looks so amazing!
This one was SO GOOD!!!
Loved this so much. Can’t wait till part 2
OMG!!!! Great job!
Excited to see part 2!
Loving all the motivation!
Very inspirational! Thank you!
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.
Very satisfying. Great job
Can’t wait for part 2!!!!!
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.
Awesome job!!
So excited to see the finished project 🙌
Great job!!!
So satisfying!! You are a rock star!
I truly love your videos! It’s so awesome to see the transformations!

Looking Good!
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!
Great job! It’s amazing how fast we collect stuff. 😊
Awesome!!!
Loving The Basement mini series!
I can't wait to see episode 2 of the basement declutter!
Fantastic job 👏
Congratulations! Good job.
I cant wait to see how all your decluttering looks when you are all done!! 😊

Love the time chunking and energy! Excellent system, love to see it! 😄
Great success. Keep up the great work.
Love the transformation! But I’d waste so much time just staring at that gorgeous laundry wall 😂
Wow. Good idea to get rid of all cardboard. Mice love it.
Omg you are doing a great job. 👍🏼
