    Taming the Closet Monster (Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence, Part 5 of 5)

    Send us Fan Mail 🛍️ The Grand Finale: Stopping the Chaos Before It Even Starts You've done the mindset work, survived the purge, built a closet you love, and installed the systems to keep it that way. So why do this whole thing again in two years?  Julie and Janis say the answer is simple: the closet monster doesn't grow from what's already in there, it grows from what keeps walking in the door.  Today's finale goes straight to the source: shopping. The JJs break down why we buy things we don't need, and - spoiler alert - it's not a character flaw ... it's the  sale trap (that "50% off" that talks you into spending 100% on something you didn't need), emotional shopping (boredom, stress, celebration ... the clothes were never really the point), vacation purchases (souvenir shirts that never feel the same once you're home), the sneaky duplicate problem, and online shopping's total lack of built-in pause points. The fix is refreshingly simple: three questions before any purchase.  1. Do I already own something similar?  2. Can I wear this with at least three things I already own?  3. Would I buy it at full price today?  Add a 24-hour (or one-week, for bigger purchases) waiting period,  and Julie and Janis both share very relatable recent confessions including an England souvenir that never quite fit right, and a 21-pocket vest situation that got returned same-day. Then the JJs take a well-earned lap through the whole series, from the emotional groundwork in Episode 12 through the systems built in Episode 16 and celebrating everything you've built along the way. ✅ This Week's Challenge (Series Finale Edition) For the next 30 days, before buying any clothing item, ask the three questions:  1. Do I already own something similar?  2. Can I wear it with at least 3 things I own?  3. Would I buy it at full price?  No tracking spreadsheet required, just the questions, every single time.  Share what you notice (or what you talked yourself out of buying!) in the ABC Declutter with JJ - Community Facebook group. That's a wrap on Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence!  If this series helped your closet (or your sanity), a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify goes a long way.

    Clothing Care Habits and Systems (Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence, Part 4 of 5) s3e16

    Send us Fan Mail  🪑 The Chair of DOOM Finally Gets What's Coming to It  You did the mindset work.  You did the purge.  You built a wardrobe that actually fits your real life.  So why does everything slide back into chaos six months later?  Julie and Janis say it's never one big thing, it's a handful of small daily habits quietly working against you. Today, they're naming every single one and handing you the fix.  First up: the Chair (or bench, or floor pile, or door handle ... you know your version). It exists because in-between clothes are a real problem, and that deserves a real solution: a couple of designated hooks or a small basket with an actual limit. Unlike the chair, a basket has a bottom, which means it eventually forces a decision.  From there, the JJs dig into laundry as a full system, not a series of half-finished tasks.  The golden rule: laundry isn't done until it's washed, dried, and put away ... no exceptions for "the basket is right there."  They cover picking an actual laundry day instead of waiting for a crisis, sorting as you go, and why smaller loads (yes, really) can save water, electricity, and your sanity.  Seasonal rotation gets a fresh spin too! It's not just swapping bins, it's a built-in twice-a-year declutter moment: if you didn't miss it in storage, you probably won't miss it going forward either.  And then there's the overflow dresser, that innocent piece of furniture that slowly became a catch-all. The fix? The file-fold method (game-changer), and clearing the top down to one intentional item.  Finally, four maintenance habits to keep clutter from creeping back: one-in-one-out (or Julie's preferred one-in-two-out),  a monthly 12-minute closet scan,  an always-accessible donation bag,  and protecting that hard-won breathing room from episode 15.  ✅ This Week's Challenge  Set a 12-minute timer, #declutteringdozen, and take on the Chair of DOOM (Didn't Organize Only Moved).  Every item gets a decision: laundry, back in the closet, or donation bag. Then set up your intentional alternative: hooks, a basket, whatever fits your space so the chair can go back to just being a chair.  Share your Chair of DOOM victory in the ABC Declutter Facebook Community!  Next up, the series finale — Episode 17 tackles what comes into the closet in the first place: shopping habits, impulse buys, and building an intentional relationship with clothes shopping.  📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@abcdeclutterwithjj 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcdeclutterwithjj/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abcdecluttercommunity 🖥️ Website: https://www.abcdeclutter.com/ 🎙️ Podcast Website: https://www.thejjsdeclutterpodcast.com/ 🖥️ Email: hello@abcdeclutter.com   #ABCDeclutter #TheJJsDeclutterPodcast #DeclutteringDozen #SmallDoableDoses #ClosetChaosToClosetConfidence #ClutterCrushersClub #DeclutterWithJJ #ChairOfDoom  #LaundrySystems #SeasonalRotation #FileFoldMethod #OverflowDresser #OneInOneOut #ClosetMaintenance #DonationBag  #DeclutterYourLife #HomeOrganization #IntentionalLiving #SimplifyYourLife #DeclutterCommunity #DailyHabits #GetOrganized #OrganizingTips #LaundryRoutine #ClosetSystem #DeclutterMindset #ClutterFreeHome #HomeHabits #OrganizingHacks #ClosetConfidence   Keep it Simple, Keep it Intentional, and - as always - Keep Decluttering!!

    Building a Closet You Love S3E15

    Send us Fan Mail  (Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence, Part 3 of 5) 👗 The Fun Part Is Here — Time to Actually Enjoy Your Closet You survived the purge (Episode 13),  You named your emotional baggage (Episode 12),  and now Julie and Janis are getting to the good stuff:  building a closet that actually works for the life you're living! Not a Pinterest-perfect showroom, and not a shrine to Fantasy You. The JJs kick things off with a question nearly everyone's asked while staring blankly into a full closet: why do I only wear the same ten things?  Turns out, those ten things aren't a fluke — they're your brain and body telling you exactly what actually works.  The real goal isn't owning less for the sake of it; it's making sure everything in your closet earns its spot the way your favorites already have. From there, the JJs walk through five principles of a closet you'll genuinely love:  a) everything fits today (not "if I stand a certain way" fits),  b) everything belongs to the life you're actually living,  c) everything makes you feel good,  d) everything's in decent condition, and  e) everything plays nicely with the rest of your wardrobe.  They also give the capsule wardrobe trend a fair, funny shakedown — the philosophy has good bones, but nobody needs to fold their life into 37 neutral rectangles to benefit from it. Julie and Janis also swap their own personal wardrobe wake-up-call stories  (you'll want to hear these),  then get delightfully practical:  - organizing by how your brain actually thinks about getting dressed,  - keeping favorites at eye level,  - facing hangers the same direction,  - leaving breathing room on the rod,  - adding real lighting, and  - why "good enough" hangers beat waiting around for the perfect matching set. The whole episode boils down to one gloriously simple test:  does your closet make getting dressed easier or harder?  If harder, something needs to shift — and it doesn't have to be a big something. ✅ This Week's Challenge Set a 12-minute timer and put together three go-to outfits using only what's already in your closet — no wish list, no "maybe" bag. Snap a photo of each. It'll show you what's working and reveal any gaps worth paying attention to. Share your outfit trio in the ABC Declutter Facebook Community! Up next, Episode 16 tackles the systems that keep your closet from sliding back into chaos — laundry routines, the overflow dresser, and yes, the Chair of DOOM makes a comeback. 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@abcdeclutterwithjj 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcdeclutterwithjj/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abcdecluttercommunity 🖥️ Website: https://www.abcdeclutter.com/ 🎙️ Podcast Website: https://www.thejjsdeclutterpodcast.com/ 🖥️ Email: hello@abcdeclutter.com   #ABCDeclutter #TheJJsDeclutterPodcast #DeclutteringDozen #SmallDoableDoses #ClosetChaosToClosetConfidence #ClutterCrushersClub #DeclutterWithJJ  #ClosetYouLove #CapsuleWardrobe #WardrobeEssentials #GettingDressedMadeEasy #ClosetOrganization #FunctionalCloset #ClosetGoals  #DeclutterYourLife #MinimalistWardrobe #IntentionalLiving #SimplifyYourLife #DeclutterCommunity #StyleThatFits #GetOrganized  #OrganizingTips #WardrobeOrganization #ClosetSystem #ClutterFreeCloset #DeclutterMindset #EverydayStyle #ClosetConfidence #OutfitFormula  Keep it Simple, Keep it Intentional, and - as always - Keep Decluttering!!

    Magazine Moments: Keeping Clothes Off the Furniture (aka Defeating the Chair of DOOM) S3E14

    Send us Fan Mail 🪑 This Episode Is Basically an Intervention for Your Chair  It's a Magazine Moments episode!  Julie and Janis are digging into a Martha Stewart piece on breaking the habit of piling clothes on furniture.  Naturally, that means a deep dive into the household's most notorious landing spot: the Chair of DOOM. (You know the one. It's not a chair anymore. It's a clothing shrine.)  The verdict from the experts? If stuff keeps piling up, it's because either the item doesn't have a home, or its home is too high-friction to actually use.  The JJs break down the article's rules of thumb one by one: give everything a designated home, declutter the closets and drawers so there's actually room to put things away, and use labels  (Julie is now a full convert, much to her own surprise).  The JJs also cover the power of a weekly family reset: complete with a flat surface scramble and a bucket-brigade approach for kids. Plus creating specific drop zones so the chaos has somewhere sanctioned to land. Janis and Julie also get delightfully skeptical about a "valet rod" suggestion (nobody's entirely sure what that even is), debate the merits of the mysterious laundry basket system, and share a truly unforgettable cautionary tale involving Janis's childhood laundry baskets and a cat named Rags. You'll never look at "clean" clothes the same way again.  This episode continues the Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence series — following S3E12 (the why) and S3E13 (the Great Closet Purge) — with three more episodes still to come as the JJs keep helping you take back your closet, one flat surface at a time.  ✅ This Week's Challenge  Pick one flat surface in your home that's become a clutter magnet, something like a chair, a counter, even an entryway table, and give it a real, designated purpose or a decluttering session this week.  Share your before-and-after in the ABC Declutter Facebook Community!  📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@abcdeclutterwithjj  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcdeclutterwithjj/  📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abcdecluttercommunity🖥️ Website: https://www.abcdeclutter.com/  🎙️ Podcast Website: https://www.thejjsdeclutterpodcast.com/  🖥️ Email: hello@abcdeclutter.com  Keep it Simple, Keep it Intentional, and - as always - Keep Decluttering!!

    The Great Closet Purge — Keep, LETS GO, and No Sandwiches Allowed 👔 s3e13

    Send us Fan Mail  This is a fun one ... the actual purge episode! 🧥   Last week we did the head work (the seven reasons your closet is basically a wearable therapy session). This week? We're doing the hands work.  Julie and Janis are walking you through the actual Great Closet Purge! None of the "does this spark joy," no three-day pile on the bed, and absolutely no giving up halfway through to go make a sandwich. We see you.  🛠️ Setup Is Half the Battle  Before you touch a single hanger:  block off 30-minute chunks (24 minutes sorting, 6 minutes hydrating),  gather FOUR bins (donate, trash, lives-elsewhere, and the infamous "not sure yet" pile),  put on a soundtrack that is NOT this podcast (yes, people have tried, no, it doesn't go well), and clear a flat sorting surface.  Preparation is 90% of not ending up buried under your own fashion history.  🔄 The Flat Surface Scramble  One section at a time, not the whole closet, ONE section.  Pull it out, wipe down the empty space, wax-paper the rod, then sort. Work that section fully before moving to the next.  Slower feels wrong but it's actually the secret to never facing an overwhelming pile of unresolved sweater decisions.  🗂️ Keep or LETS GO, Clothing Edition  Keep: Fits, worn regularly, fits your actual lifeLE: Lives Elsewhere (seasonal storage, spouse's closet, mysteriously migrated)T: Trash (stained, broken, done. No guilt required)S: Sentimental (unless you immediately know, this item gets its OWN separate session, not decided mid-purge)GO: Goes out — donate, sell, or "I know exactly who needs this" ⏳ The Maybe Pile (With a Deadline) Maybes are fine ~ as long as they're sealed, dated, and set a 3-month calendar reminder. If you can't remember what's in the bag in 3 months, that's your answer. Donate unopened. 🚧 The Four Sticking Points The expensive thing you never wear (the money's already gone. Stop paying the guilt tax). The item that "almost" fits, or the gift you don't love. As well as clothes from a different body or life chapter we handle here with real gentleness, because that one's personal. ✨ Putting Keeps Back Right Group by category, hang facing the same direction, put your most-worn pieces at eye level, and wipe everything down before it goes back in. Fresh space, fresh habits. 🎯 This Week's Challenge: Complete ONE 30-minute purge block on your closet  (24 minutes of sorting, 6 minutes to breathe.) Take a before photo!  Share your before/after in the ABC Declutter with JJ Community on FB. Every win counts, no matter the size of the section.     📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@abcdeclutterwithjj 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcdeclutterwithjj/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abcdecluttercommunity 🖥️ Website: https://www.abcdeclutter.com/  Podcast Website: https://www.thejjsdeclutterpodcast.com/ ✉️ Email: hello@abcdeclutter.com       #ABCDeclutter #TheJJsDeclutterPodcast #ClutterCrushersClub #LETSGOSortingSystem #FlatSurfaceScramble #SmallDoableDoses #KeepItSimpleKeepItIntentional #ClosetPurge #ClosetChaosToClosetConfidence #ClothesDeclutter #WardrobeDeclutter #KeepOrLetsGo #ClosetOrganization #DonateClothes #ClosetMakeover #ClothingClutter #MaybePile #DeclutterYourLife #OrganizingTips #IntentionalLiving #ClosetGoals #SimplifyYourLife #ProgressOverPerfection #LetItGoWithGratitude #WardrobeReset #DeclutterCommunity #DeclutterWithMe #OrganizingCommunity #ClutterFreeLife     Keep it Simple, Keep it Intentional, and - as always - Keep Decluttering!!

    Clothes Decluttering Pitfalls - Part One of a Clothing Series s3e12

    Send us Fan Mail S3E12: Clothes Decluttering Pitfalls  (Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence, Part 1) 👕 Warning: This Episode May Cause You to Side-Eye Your Own Closet This week, Julie and Janis are kicking off a brand-new 5-part series, Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence — and they're starting with the hardest part first: your feelings. (Don't worry, no trash bags required. Yet.) Turns out clothes aren't just fabric they're wearable memory, wearable guilt, and occasionally wearable delusion (looking at you, "Fantasy Me" and her never-worn linen blazer).  The JJs break down the 7 real reasons we hang onto clothes we never wear: Identity, Guilt, Fantasy Self, Body Changes, Memories, Money, and the ever-popular "Just In Case." If you counted at least three fingers while listening, congratulations, you're human, and you're in very good company. 🧥 True Confessions Julie fesses up to a gorgeous white wool coat that's basically become a very judgmental closet decoration. Janis admits to holding onto her high school song-leader uniforms for over 30 years on the off chance her daughters — who outgrew her by middle school — might someday wear them. (They did not.) 🧠 Mindset Muscle, Not Trash Bag Muscle Before Episode 13's Great Closet Purge, the JJs want you practicing four gut-check questions:  a. Have I actually worn this in the last year?  b. Would I buy it again today?  c. Does it fit the life I'm living now?    And the big one ... d. Am I keeping the object, or am I afraid of losing the memory? ✅ This Week's Small Doable Dose Set a 12-minute timer, pick just 5 items from your closet, and ask one honest question about each: have I worn this in the past year?  That's it. No decisions required - just noticing.  Use #declutteringdozen to share your progress (or your discoveries) with the community! Next time: Episode 13, The Great Closet Purge — aprons optional. 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@abcdeclutterwithjj 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcdeclutterwithjj/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abcdecluttercommunity 🖥️ Website: https://www.abcdeclutter.com/ 🎙️ Podcast Website: https://www.thejjsdeclutterpodcast.com/ 🖥️ Email: hello@abcdeclutter.com  #ABCDeclutter #TheJJsDeclutterPodcast #DeclutteringDozen #SmallDoableDoses #ClosetChaosToClosetConfidence #ClutterCrushersClub #DeclutterWithJJ #ClosetDeclutter #ClothesDeclutter #WardrobeDeclutter #ClosetConfidence #FashionFreedom #ClothingClutter #GreatClosetPurge #DeclutterYourLife #MinimalistWardrobe #IntentionalLiving #SimplifyYourLife #DeclutterCommunity #HomeOrganization #GetOrganized #OrganizingTips #ClosetOrganization #CapsuleWardrobe #DeclutterMindset #LetGoOfClutter #FreshStartFriday #ClutterFree #WardrobeGoals Keep it Simple, Keep it Intentional, and - as always - Keep Decluttering!!

    Car Care & Car Travel Tips: Your Car Is a Rolling Storage Unit 🚗🧹 s3e11

    Send us Fan Mail Confession time: your car is basically a mobile junk drawer with a steering wheel. Coffee cups multiplying in the cup holders, receipts fossilizing in the door pocket, and somewhere back there are 14 reusable shopping bags breeding like rabbits.  Julie and Janis are calling it out (lovingly) and giving you the system to fix it before road trip season hits full swing.  🕵️ Why Cars Get So Cluttered Your car is a "mobile transition zone". Every errand leaves evidence behind. And the sneaky part is that you stop seeing it.  Clutter blindness is real, until someone asks for a ride and you suddenly see your backseat through their horrified eyes.  ⚠️ It's Not Just Messy ... It's a Safety Issue  Rolling items can jam your brake pedal. Blocked windows kill your visibility. A grimy windshield plus a sunset equals disaster.  This isn't about aesthetics, it's about actually seeing where you're going.  ⏱️ The Weekly Decluttering Dozen (Car Edition)  12 minutes, once a week: trash out, misplaced items back to their real homes, everyday items organized, quick wipe-down.  That's it. Do it weekly and it barely takes any time at all.  🧽 The Seasonal Deep Clean  Four times a year (or "2-3, but also whenever it's needed"), empty the WHOLE car, vacuum everything, tackle the windows, condition the leather (ok, just clean the Naugahyde), and yes! clean your cup holders before they start to walk on their own.  📦 The 5 Categories Every Item Falls Into  a. Emergency kit,  b. seasonal swaps (i.e., summer to winter) c. everyday essentials,  d. trash (leaves every time, no exceptions), and  e. "items that migrated from home" (we're looking at you, three-day-old Amazon package!)  🛣️ Road Trip Prep Checklist  Fluids, tire pressure (including the spare! I learned that one the hard way in 110° heat), lights, windshield scrubber, and a designated trash bag so day 3 doesn't smell like a dumpster.  👀 The Pre-Trip Visibility Check  Sit in the driver's seat. Can you see out every window? Mirrors clean and angled right? Nothing dangling from the rearview? Do this before every trip — it could genuinely save your life.  🎯 This Week's Challenge:  Set a 12-minute timer and do your first car decluttering dozen.  Bonus points if you find something you thought was lost forever.  Share your "found it!" moment in the ABC Declutter Facebook Community!   📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@abcdeclutterwithjj  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcdeclutterwithjj/  📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abcdecluttercommunity  🖥️ Website: https://www.abcdeclutter.com/  🎙️ Podcast Website: https://www.thejjsdeclutterpodcast.com/  ✉️ Email: hello@abcdeclutter.com  #ABCDeclutter #TheJJsDeclutterPodcast #ClutterCrushersClub #DeclutteringDozen #LETSGOSortingSystem #SmallDoableDoses #DOOMBoxes #KeepItSimpleKeepItIntentional  #CarClutter #CarOrganization #CarCleaningTips #RoadTripPrep #CarDecluttering #VehicleOrganization #WeeklyDeclutteringDozen #SeasonalDeepClean #CarMaintenance #DriveClean #DeclutterYourLife #OrganizingTips #IntentionalLiving #HomeOrganization #SimplifyYourLife #ProgressOverPerfection #CleanCarCleanMind #CarSafetyTips  #DeclutterCommunity #DeclutterWithMe #OrganizingCommunity #ClutterFreeLife   Keep it Simple, Keep it Intentional, and - as always - Keep Decluttering!!

    Magazine Moments: 10 Packing Tips for Your Next Vacation s3e10

    Send us Fan Mail  ✈️  S3E10: Magazine Moments: 10 Packing Tips for Your Next Vacation 🧳  Grab your compression cubes and your questionable amount of cords, because Julie and Janis are diving into another Magazine Moments episode!  This time they're tackling a list from Travelers (yes, the insurance folks with the umbrella) on how to pack a suitcase for vacation ... and naturally, they have opinions.  🗒️ Lists Are Life Julie and Janis are both certified list people, and they're not sorry about it. From YMCA camp packing lists to laminated checklists for kids, if it's not written down, it's not happening. Bonus points if grandma gets a copy too.  ⚖️ Know Your Limits (No, Not That Kind) Airline baggage rules changed again, so pay attention to size AND weight ... Janis just bought a luggage scale and hasn't even used it yet. Classic.  🌀 Roll, Fold, or Compress? The great debate: rolling vs. folding vs. Janis's beloved compression cubes and packing envelope (which she will NOT be getting rid of, thank you very much).  Julie's a roller. Janis is a cube evangelist. Somewhere in the middle is a perfectly packed suitcase.  🧴 The 3-1-1 Bag Strikes Again Sunscreen, shampoo, and the eternal question of whether TSA will actually rescind that liquids rule (they will not). Plus: a glitter candle x-ray incident that had security very confused.  👗 Pack Smart, Not Heavy Scarves that double as tops! The "cat suit" color-matching trick! Limiting shoes! Julie and Janis break down how to pack fewer things that do more things.  🛫 The Carry-On Essentials Snacks, a hand fan (for "women of a certain age," Julie says lovingly), and never — NEVER — packing your valuables in checked luggage. TSA can and will cut your lock off.  🎯 This Week's Challenge: Before your next trip, make ONE packing list ... even a basic one ... and see how much smoother your packing day goes.  Report back in the ABC Declutter Facebook Community!   📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@abcdeclutterwithjj 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcdeclutterwithjj/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abcdecluttercommunity 🖥️ Website: https://www.abcdeclutter.com/ 🎙️ Podcast Website: https://www.thejjsdeclutterpodcast.com/ ✉️ Email: hello@abcdeclutter.com  🏷️ #ABCDeclutter #TheJJsDeclutterPodcast #ClutterCrushersClub #DeclutteringDozen #LETSGOSortingSystem #SmallDoableDoses #DOOMBoxes #KeepItSimpleKeepItIntentional #TravelPackingTips #PackingHacks #SuitcasePacking #TravelOrganization #PackingList #CarryOnEssentials #CompressionCubes #VacationPrep #TravelTips2026 #MagazineMoments #DeclutterYourLife #OrganizingTips #IntentionalLiving #HomeOrganization #SimplifyYourLife #ProgressOverPerfection #MinimalPacking #TravelLight  #DeclutterCommunity #DeclutterWithMe #OrganizingCommunity #ClutterFreeLife   Keep it Simple, Keep it Intentional, and - as always - Keep Decluttering!!
