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-Col6n, offer.

With ORGANIZING FROM THE INSIDE OUT FOR TEENS, teens will learn:

• how to rearrange a room so that it's not just for sleep, but also for friends and homework;
• how to organize a backpack to find what's needed when it's needed;
• how to create a schedule that allows time for schoolwork, extracurriculars, and fun; 
• how to maintain a system so that it stays relevant and helpful 

and much, much more! With quizzes, lists of useful organizational resources, and advice from other teens around the country, Organizing from the Inside Out for Teens will prove an indispensable guide for overwhelmed teenagers everywhere.

The author of the New York Times bestseller Organizing from the Inside Out and Time Management from the Inside Out, JULIE MORGENSTERN has been a guest on many television shows, including The Oprah Show, Today, and Good Morning America. She hosted a popular PBS special on her first book and is a contributing editor to O, The Oprah Magazine.
