Fans of The Home Edit are going to [rightfully] lose their minds this fall when Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin drop an organizational guide for teens and a cleaning book for kids this fall. Especially if said fans are the parents of teens who perpetually have laundry (both clean and dirty?!?!) strewn across the floor, tipped-over tchotchkes that have been ignored and yet can’t be tossed (?!?!), and are forever misplacing permission slips and college application forms.

But The Home Edit for Teens is about more than just creating a stuffy, sterile environment that would appease Melvil Dewey (any Dewey Decimal System fans out there? Just me?).

“[It’s] a playbook for owning your style, your confidence, your life,” says the description on Amazon. “Being organized means you’ll never scramble to find your favorite sweatshirt again and forgetting assignments will be a thing of the past … it makes space for you to have fun and enjoy the process.”

If you’re thinking that sounds like a nice but unattainable fantasy, don’t worry: Shearer and Teplin — the organizational pros behind Netflix’s The Home Edit and a company by the same name — have broken down how t(w)eens can develop invaluable organizational and life skills.

The guide is designed to help readers of any age develop a personalized routine to achieve their goals. It has checklist templates to keep them on track, highlights the power of a good basket, and it teaches them how to know when it’s time to say goodbye to something that’s adding more clutter than value.

“Our new books are about more than just organizing — they are about learning life lessons that shape character, instill values, and spark creativity,” Shearer and Teplin said in a statement. “The Home Edit inspires empowerment and capability, so by encouraging these habits early on, we’re equipping young readers with essential life skills that emphasize the fun in functional.”
