Organizing from the Inside Out for Teens

A guide from America's #1 organizer and her daughter that "explains why less clutter in your world means more time for you to study, sleep, or hang out" (CosmoGirl).

Today's teens are busier than ever. Figuring out how to balance schoolwork, friends, and extracurricular activities can often feel as difficult as performing a high-wire act without a net. And many teens become even more frustrated by the remedies the adults in their lives prescribe: even if teens would like to see their floors or finish their homework occasionally, they don't want to do that by throwing away their stuff or spending less time with their friends. Instead, they want to figure out a way to make the most of their space and time—which is precisely what Julie Morgenstern and her teenage daughter, Jessi Morgenstern-Colón, offer.
