The ultimate guide for getting it together, from lockers and backpacks to bedrooms, closets, and vanities—by the New York Times bestselling authors of The Home Edit.

The Home Edit for Teens is a playbook for owning your style, your confidence, your life. Being organized means you’ll never scramble to find your favorite sweatshirt again and forgetting assignments will be a thing of the past. But the best part of Clea and Joanna’s signature approach to organizing is that it makes space for you to have fun and enjoy the process. The conclusive guide of tips and advice for the modern teen, this book covers timeless issues such as:

• Developing a personalized routine to achieve your goals and carve out more time for fun
• Having checklist templates to tick off tasks and goals and keep you on track
• Enlisting crates, pouches, baskets, and boxes to help you contain the chaos
• Knowing when to toss something that you no longer want or need

Full of captivating photography and tips and tricks for every space, The Home Edit is your guide to finding a system that works for your needs and things, including hauls of makeup, hair accessories, or a room full of crafts and books. The best part: you’ll feel calmer, more confident, and in control of your life.

Allow Us To Introduce Ourselves

We are Clea and Joanna, professional organizers and “cool moms”! Welcome to The Home Edit for Teens, where we help you edit your spaces, showcase your unique style, and have a little (okay fine, a lot of) fun along the way!

Seriously, getting organized is the best, whether you’re curating your closet (page 74) or hosting a sleepover (page 130). First, a space looks amazing when organized in rainbow order (page 116).

Second, running late for school with zero idea where to find your fave sweatshirt is the absolute worst. And finally, organized spaces don’t only look better, they actually make us feel better (#science)!

If you are reading this, you most likely fit into one or more of these categories:

1. You Love Organizing

Same! Your bookshelves and sneakers are organized in rainbow order, and whether it’s colored pens or lip glosses, you have a pouch for that. Welcome! We promise to take your organizing prowess to new heights with solutions for teen-specific conundrums (like corralling unruly hair accessories) as well as ideas for exciting adventures and parties (camp org! sleepover checklists!). We’re so excited to make a book just for you. No parents allowed.

2. You Love the Idea of Organizing—but Are Not Organized

You mean not yet! Being organized comes naturally to some, and for others, it just takes a few super-simple tips to get going. Does your closet feel like an avalanche waiting to happen? We have a system for that! Haven’t seen your bathroom countertops (or fave headband) in months? Easy-peasy. Once you start, it’s so fun! Next thing you know, you are looking for things to organize. Get ready for rooms with rizz. (Did we use “rizz” right?)

3. You Are a Budding Entrepreneur

Calling all mini moguls! As best friends who love organizing, we turned our passion into our dream job. And guess what? So can you! It can be an organizing club using all our tips and tricks or a successful lemonade stand (like on page 59).

4. You Are Our Kids!

Heyyy, Miles and Marlowe. Hiii, Stella and Sutton. This book was inspired by you. This book is dedicated to you. We’re sorry about the rizz comment. But we love y’all more than organizing in rainbow order. This book is for you.
