Tidy Up Your Life

Make Space for What Matters Most

Summary

Bring order to your home and focus to your busy life.

This is the step-by-step method from the social media sensation 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.

He learned that tidying is about so much more than the decluttering of a physical space. When he analyzed what was 'just enough', he was able to devise systems and hacks that brought order to his whole life.


  • How to identify what really matters both emotionally and physically to you and the people who share your space.

  • Tips for making a 'one-area-a-weekday' cleaning schedule and other simple routines that complement household rhythms and eliminate intensive weekend cleaning.
A vital book for the overwhelmed, overworked and stressed-out.
