Ways to Organize Your Teen’s Life!

Ways to Organize Your Teen's Life. Here are some organizing ideas to help your teen be happier and more productive in the new year!

One thing I’ve learned from being a mom to older kids is that organizing comes a lot more naturally to some of my kids than to others. And helping them get organized is an important life skill! It definitely requires tools, tricks, and smart ideas like these!

Here are the best tools, tricks, and ideas to help you help you organize your teen’s life!

Bedside Shelf Organizer

Bedside Shelf Organizer @ Amazon

I love this shelf organizer! It’s perfect for my daughter’s room which doesn’t have room for a big nightstand. The back has adhesive so all you need to do is stick it on the all – no tools needed!!

DIY-Tween-Command-Station-tutorial

DIY Command Station @ Tatertots and Jello

This is a command station I made for my daughter Hannah a few years ago. She used the desk for homework, but we also made a charging station out of an old drawer and made magnetic plaques to hang on the wall where she would put reminders and photos.

    Great ideas! I have this really cool USB charger – it looks like an outlet cover but it has 1 standard outlet and 2 usb outlets on it. What’s neat about it is that it’s thick and designed so you can rest your cell phone on it. It’s by Sharper Image. Sam’s Club had a 2 pack for $20 awhile back.
