Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Bring order to your home and focus to your busy life with Tidy Dad's guiding principles and practical routines for organizing, cleaning, and prioritizing--both emotionally and physically.

A father of three with a stressful job, Tyler Moore felt his life resembled an overstuffed closet: disorganized and overly busy behind tidy, closed doors. When it all became too much--for his family's 750-square-foot apartment and his mental health--he set out to unpack the physical and emotional mess around him.

Chronicling his progress as "Tidy Dad" on Instagram, Moore learned that tidying is about so much more than the aesthetics and decluttering of a physical space. When he stepped back, reflected, and named what was "just enough," he was able to devise systems and hacks that brought order to his whole life. Drawing on Moore's experience with the everyday highs and lows of parenting, home management, and work-life balance, and filled with his signature warmth and wit, Tidy Up Your Life includes:

  • Tidy Dad's process for tackling overwhelming tasks--how to identify what really matters both emotionally and physically to you and the people who share your space.
  • How to arrive at your own definition of "just enough" as well as thought experiments for appreciating what you already have.
  • The goal is not "always tidy" but "easily tidied" and other principles for lifting some of the mental and physical burdens we feel when managing our homes.
  • Tips for making a "one-area-a-weekday" cleaning schedule and other simple routines that complement household rhythms and reduce the mental load you may be carrying.

A vital book for overwhelmed parents as well as overworked, stressed-out professionals, Tidy Up Your Life will help you live a more joyful, tidied-up life.
