Clea Shearer - The Home Edit Life: The Complete Guide to Organizing Absolutely Everything at Work, at Home and On the Go, A Netflix Original Series

This book is for both those who love to organize in their free time and those who want to get organized but feel they just cant make the time. Its for the moms who are sick of looking at sippy cups in their cabinets and wish there was more room for champagne glasses. Its for those of us who go to work, sit at our desks, and continue to wonder how we always end up with so many pens that rarely have ink. Its for the craft lovers, the beauty product enthusiasts, and the jet-set travelers.

Basically, this book is for everyone. We wanted to create a book that shows you how to live the life you love without feeling bad about the things you own. We wanted to show you that being organized isnt limited to pantries, closets, and other rooms in your house. It also extends to your hobbies, your travel, and even your phone. Organizing is a lifestyle and mindset that anyone can adopt. Consider this book our 360-degree approach to help you contain the chaos of your life and all the contents that come with itwhatever that may be.

Alright, now that we have that covered, its time to step inside and leave any guilt you might have about owning things at the doorexcept can you maybe take your shoes off first? Thanks!

It took us eight-plus hours to organize Constance Zimmers pantry because we were having such a hard time with its dimensions. She actually said goodbye and left us at the house while she went to a holiday party. We were still there at midnight when she got home.

Althoughdidnt we explicitly warn against immediately organizing your pantry before getting your feet wet by tidying smaller spaces? Every time we saw someone tag us in an Instagram story where every single item in their pantry had been taken out and piled all over the kitchen, with the caption, Just received my book in the mail! Getting started! we wanted to scream, NOOOOOO!!! DONT DOOOOOO ITTTTTTTT! Were very much hoping all those ambitious go-getters made it out unscathed and didnt end up crouched in a corner crying. Even we have ended up crying over a complicated pantry! Okay, not exactly crying , but certainly taking panicked shallow breaths and reciting, Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

We promise were not trying to take away your organizing fun, but we do want to reiterate that starting small and working your way up is the best way to ensure a successfully organized space. Starting on a drawer might seem like an insignificant project, but it can be just as transformative as organizing a larger space (and what is better than an organized bathroom drawer?!), helping to eliminate common hassles and improve your everyday life. In other words, no more rummaging around for a hair tie, or trying to find a pen to sign a permission slip. Have we sold you on starting small yet?

Rebranding the NO-JUNK DRAWER

So what if a drawer holds random items? As long as everything is contained and categorized, and makes sense in your daily routine, thats all that matters. Organization isnt one size fits all, and customizing spaces to your needs is the golden ticket.
