Bring order to your home and focus to your busy life with the guiding principles and practical routines for organizing, cleaning, and determining what's "just enough"--both physically and emotionally--by the social media sensation known as Tidy Dad.
A father of three with a stressful job, Tyler Moore felt his life resembled an overstuffed closet: disorganized and overly busy behind the tidy, closed doors. When it all became too much--for their 750-square-foot apartment
and his nerves--he set out to unpack the physical and emotional mess around him.
Chronicling his progress as "Tidy Dad" on Instagram, he learned that tidying is about so much more than the aesthetics and decluttering of a physical space. When he stepped back, analyzed, and named what was
just enough, he was able to devise systems and hacks that brought order to his
whole life. Drawing on his 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:
