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.

Great book for anyone that wants a tidy home

I genuinely recommend this book as a must-read for anyone that wants a de-cluttered, clean, and tidy home. it's full of tips and tricks to suit the average person with the average home. Some repetition from her other book but not too much. The quiz does not read well as an audiobook so I highly recommend pausing the book and doing the quiz on the website then tuning back in once you know what Clutterbug you are.

Great ideas, systems and insight.

One of the things I found most helpful was how to recognise the different personality types when it comes to organising/tidying your home and how to develop techniques that mesh the different types so that it works for all.
Loved the part about facilitating and encouraging children to be independent so that you are not their forever slave (….into adulthood!)

Some good tips &tricks

Engaging, easy to listen to and reassuringly realistic in terms of how to go about organising your home. Good suggestions, tips &tricks that although maybe not groundbreaking are sensible &achievable...and ultimately will work. Quite American in style but not irritatingly so. I found the narrator a little wooden and robotic sounding, but managed to get to the end. Will definitely be checking out more from this author.

fabulous hints and tips

I have finally found a book which goes beyond the theory and gets to the why I constantly battle against Clutter and why I make endless piles of stuff not yet put away. That is just my style which instead of beating myself up about, through this book I can now embrace this with hints and tips to manage my style and get to the clutter free space I crave.

Loved the sight in this book. Will recommend to everyone.
