Publisher's Summary

Real Life Organizing offers clutter-free storage solutions and advice that can help you create a Pinterest-worthy home on a small budget: Learn how to organize your home, simplify life, and have more time for the things you love.

Organizational expert Cassandra "Cas" Aarssen, the guru from YouTube's ClutterBug channel, reveals her tips, tricks, and secrets to a clean and clutter-free home in just 15 minutes a day. Aarssen spends her time organizing other people's homes, teaching college workshops on organization, and creating weekly videos and blog posts. Cas offers DIY Pinterest-type tips to people like you who are interested in how to get rid of clutter and how to organize your home.

Organized person on the outside: The secret to her success? She's a giant mess on the inside, but an organized person who can teach you how to get rid of clutter and organize your home once and for all.

Simplify your life: In her debut, Real Life Organizing, Cas walks you through the steps you can take to create a beautiful, organized, clutter-free, and almost self-cleaning home - a DIY Pinterest home. Simplify your life. You do not have to get rid of all of your things, you do not have to be a yoga-loving minimalist, and you do not have to radically change your lifestyle or personality in order to simplify your life and have an organized home. The truth is that you do not need to actually be an organized person to live like an organized person.

Organize home: Through her years of experience as an industry expert, Cas has uncovered easy and inexpensive tips, tricks, and solutions that allow her to maintain a clean, organized, and functional home with minimal effort. After you've listened to Real Life Organizing, you too will be able to live a more organized life without having to give up your sanity.

In Real Life Organizing, you will learn how to:

  • Create a household-management binder
  • Make a "kids cupboard" in your kitchen
  • Create an in/out system
  • Organize paperwork based on your unique style
  • Create a kitchen command center
  • Organize your holidays with a gift closet
  • Build the best toy-organizing system
  • And enjoy a DIY Pinterest home

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Love Clutterbug

Cas is an inspirational lady who knows how to motivate anyone willing to try something a little different. You can tell she's worked hard and researched a lot to bring us the cream of the crop for taking control of your home. I love her YouTube videos even more than her book but it's definitely great to be able to throw on audible and clean while I listen, or while I sit and scroll 😄 depends on the day 👍

Very useful tips!

I love the tips for organizing my house, specially for children. It was also a surprise to understand that my organization style is the opposite of my daughter’s and that I would never change her to be like me, I need to find systems that works for her and for me, in a good compromise. Very useful tips that I am already starting to apply!

Practical Solutions for families

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audible while I was working away at de- uttering. As a Professional Organizer, I still struggle at letting go of items and cleaning systems. This book helped. Going to share this book with my colleagues and use the systems with my own clients and in my own home.

The book is full of ideas to start implementing immediately. I really loved the way the process of organizing was explained. . the S P A C E technique was spot on. As soon as I completed this book. I sorted the toys area and the kitchen hidden cabinets as explained. now my rooms feel much functional. Thank you Anna

Not the worst but not the best book

I’ve read a lot of organization books and I just wasn’t as impressed with this one. I honestly felt like it hit some good points but overall I feel like it could have been summed up into a blog post or a YouTube video.
