The Mel Robbins Podcast

Show Notes

This conversation will make your home and your life feel lighter and easier in the first 10 minutes.

Clutter is stealing your time, draining your energy, and you are about to learn the fast and simple way to take back your sanity.

Even better news: You do not need to spend an entire weekend to get organized.

You need a simple system that works for your real (and very busy) life.

Today, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, the organizing experts behind The Home Edit, are here to help you clear the clutter, take back your space, and make your home feel easier to live in.

They are removing the shame from the entire process.

Clea and Joanna walk Mel through a live, 10-minute clear out of her junk drawer and prove that you can start small, spend zero dollars, and feel an immediate difference.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

-The 4-step method to edit, categorize, contain, and maintain any space -The 80/20 rule that makes every room or drawer feel organized -The 3 questions that make it simple to decide what to keep and what to throw out -The right place to start when your entire home feels overwhelming -Why you should never start organizing in with your closet -The one question that stops decision paralysis -Why your mess keeps coming back -How to create simple systems your family will follow -The daily drawer that makes mornings faster and less stressful

This is not an episode about making your home look perfect.

It’s reclaiming your time, your energy, your mental clarity, and your peace.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll know exactly where to begin: one drawer, 10 minutes, and a few simple decisions that will make your life feel so much better.
