The JJs Declutter Podcast
The big question is this:
How can we stop procrastinating, take control of clutter (and cleaning) in a way that really sticks, and avoid feeling overwhelmed along the way? We created The JJs Declutter Podcast because, as professional decluttering coaches, we know that organizing your home doesn’t have to be an endless, stressful chore.
Our mission is to share practical, real-world solutions that make keeping your spaces tidy a whole lot easier. And yes, we sprinkle in some humor too! Each episode is designed to inspire, give you quick wins, and help you build a clutter-free lifestyle, so your home can feel peaceful, functional, and yours again.
Join us for a little laughter and a lot of learning. Let’s dive in!
The JJs Declutter Podcast
DOOM Boxes = Didn't Organize, Only Moved s2e15
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Someone's coming over in 30 minutes. You panic.
You start shoving things into boxes, bags, baskets ~ anything with a lid.
You tell yourself you'll deal with it later.
Later never came. Now those boxes live in your closet. Some of them have been there so long they've become furniture.
Welcome to the DOOM box episode.
What's a DOOM Box?
DOOM = Didn't Organize, Only Moved.
It's not storage ~ it's a box of delayed decisions.
A chaotic mix of important papers, random junk, things from three different rooms, and that one thing you've been meaning to return for eight months.
You relocated the problem instead of solving it.
What You'll Learn:
- Why DOOM boxes form ~ and how hotspots from last episode are the #1 culprit
- The DOOM box hunt ~ how to find and count every box, bag, bin, and basket hiding in your home (yes, check the oven ~ Julie learned that one the hard way 🔥)
- What your number means ~ and why it's just data, not a character flaw
- Why willpower alone won't fix it ~ and what you actually need to break the cycle
- The clear-and-reclutter trap ~ why busting boxes without fixing your systems just creates new ones in 6 months
Your Challenge This Week:
Set your timer for 12 minutes (the Decluttering Dozen!) and go on a DOOM box hunt.
Count every single one.
Write down that number.
Then decide what you're going to do with that information.
- 5 or fewer? Pat yourself on the back ~ manageable situation!
- 6–10? You're not alone, and you're not failing.
- More than 10? You don't have a DOOM box problem. You have a systems problem ~ and that's fixable.
Ready to Actually Fix This?
The Clearing Your Clutter course is underway, but it's not too late! Week 2 is all about DOOM boxes ~ which means you can jump in right now. Get live coaching, a community of fellow declutterers, and proven systems that stop the clutter from coming back. Details at abcdeclutter.com
