Best-selling author and Oprah favorite, Julie Morgenstern is America’s organizing queen. Her client-tailored sustainable approaches have made her a sought-out time management expert, business productivity consultant, and popular keynote speaker.
Since 1989, Julie and her team at Julie Morgenstern Enterprises have collaborated with individuals and companies to organize their space, time, and resources, so that they can get more from less. Morgenstern’s career path to professional organizer was not a clear one. As a young woman, she considered the chaos in her life a mark of her creativity; however, after her daughter was born, she quickly realized her old lifestyle was no longer functional. She began to create different formulas to organize spaces from her little one’s diaper bag to the kitchen cabinet, based on her family’s habits and needs at the time. Her style and strategies have evolved to organizing entire corporations like American Express, Hearst, Deloitte, Microsoft, FedEx, GlaxoSmithKline, and the NBC-Newsroom.
Morgenstern is the author of Organizing From The Inside Out, a fun guidebook that has helped hundreds of thousands of readers turn chaos into maintainable order. Her later hits Shed Your Stuff, Change Your Life and Never Check E-mail in the Morning have guided readers to transformative achievements in the areas of change management, time management, and productivity. She’s worked organizational magic, offering insights and advice on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Rachael Ray Show, Today Show, Good Morning America, NPR, and in the New York Times, Business Week, Wall Street Journal, Men’s Health, and Redbook.
Julie Morgenstern is an internationally renowned organizing and time management expert, New York Times best-selling author, consultant and speaker. Her work spans the distance between individuals and workforces – homes and corporations. The “Inside Out” philosophy that is now synonymous with her name result in customized solutions that are innovative, practical and ensure long-term success. Since 1989, Julie and her staff have transformed the way individuals and companies function around the globe, including American Express, Hearst, Deloitte, Microsoft, FedEx, GlaxoSmithKline, the NBC-Newsroom, the NYC Mayor’s Office, Sony Music, State Farm Insurance, and Viacom/MTV.
As a speaker, media personality, and corporate spokesperson, Julie is known for her passionate, articulate style and warm sense of humor. She is a contributor to Redbook, helping readers solve problems by inspiring order in their lives through her monthly column. She has shared her expertise on countless TV and radio outlets, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, The Rachael Ray Show, The Today Show, Good Morning America, and National Public Radio. She is quoted and featured regularly in a wide variety of publications and has been seen in The New York Times, Time Magazine, USA Today, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, Best Life, O Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Fitness Magazine, and Men’s Health.
Julie is the author of the classic tomes ORGANIZING FROM THE INSIDE OUT and TIME MANAGEMENT FROM THE INSIDE OUT, both of which have been developed into popular specials for PBS. Julie and her teenage daughter, Jessi Morgenstern-Colon, co-authored ORGANIZING FROM THE INSIDE OUT FOR TEENS. Her workplace productivity and work-life balance tome, NEVER CHECK E-MAIL IN THE MORNING, is now the basis of a popular training program conducted for the Fortune 500 and businesses worldwide. Julie’s latest book, SHED Your Stuff, Change Your Life takes her message to a new level, showing people how to use the process of decluttering to ‘get unstuck’ in their lives. Beyond books, the core principles of her organization and time management philosophies are made tangible through the Julie Morgenstern Collection of organizers, totes, and leather accessories. The line was designed in partnership with FranklinCovey, to provide intelligent organizing tools for the way people really live.
The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) honored Julie with its prestigious Founder’s Award in 2002 for her significant contributions to the professional organizing industry. She served actively on the Board of Directors for NAPO for many years and is also a member of The National Speakers Association (NSA).
Julie’s background in the theatre as a director, producer, and performer provides the foundation for her work as an Organizer. She believes organizing requires the same set of skills as directing/producing – an appreciation of spatial design, the ability to see the big picture as well as the tiny details, and the talent to blend psychology and practical skills to guide people where they want to go.
Her education includes a BA in Theatre from Temple University and graduate studies in Directing at the Goodman School of Drama. Julie lives in New York City.
Julie Morgenstern outlines the differences between organizing and decluttering, two very different processes that do not meet the same needs. Organizing, she explains, is designing and putting systems in place that make your life easier while decluttering is ultimately about change; you get rid of things you no longer need in order to make room for something new in your life.
Introducing SHED, her 4-step method for decluttering, Morgenstern asserts that clutter goes deeper than the material level. Everything you have emits information about you and your emotional attachments. “I think of clutter as a point of entry,” she elaborates. “It’s an opportunity to open space and energy and even insight into old belief systems that are holding us back.”
People hearing Julie Morgenstern for the first time wonder aloud, “Where has she been all my life?” Millions have connected with Morgenstern’s guidelines for organizing, decluttering, and time management, declaring that her methodologies are applicable to every aspect of life. Morgenstern realizes that “cookie cutter methods” don’t work for everybody; rather, her approach focuses on developing systems and processes based on your lifestyle and goals – an approach that people claim not only works, but has actually “given them their lives back.”
With humor, compassion, and insight Julie and her team give audiences critical skills for today’s busy world … How to get and stay organized. The results? Program attendees laugh, learn and leave with practical tools and strategies they can apply immediately, along with the motivation to take action right away.

GETTING ORGANIZED FROM THE INSIDE OUT An organized work space speeds information retrieval, reduces stress and preserves institutional knowledge. And an organized home is a great place to recharge.

Her approach is unexpected, fun and practical, showing audiences how to design a sustainable system based on their unique personality, needs and style.
