Tidy Up Your Life

Rethinking How to Organize, Declutter, and Make Space for What Matters Most

De: Tyler Moore

Narrado por: Tyler Moore

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 compliment 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.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with diagrams and resources from the printed book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

“Original, whimsical, and altogether practical.”—Booklist

Informative!

I absolutely loved listening to Tyler’s voice. So easy to listen to. Loved the book! Very informative and will be using these practices in my own home! This is a MUST read!

A gentle, calm ASMR of a read!

I follow @tidydqd on Instagram and love that many of his stories and more are packaged here in a way that is as if he is the heir of Fred Roger’s or Bob Ross, helping you to make functional beauty out of your space that will give more peace to yourself, first, and those you love.

Excellent read/ listen if you’re trying to get your life tidied up!

I loved the funny little “ dad” stories and cleaning tips Tyler shares! It makes the book fly by!

Great book

This book gives great advice and is very relatable, especially for parents. Tidy Dad has some very easy ideas.

Very practical!

Loved the personal stories and advice. Great ideas for both home and school for teachers 😀

Everything I expected plus more!

Ever since I first heard of Tyler the Tidy Dad on a podcast talking about “surthrival”, I’ve been a fan! With his approach to life and messes - not just those in the house or with raising children - has really struck home with me. I was so glad to hear he wrote a book - yay, finally! What a wonderful book with so many great tips, tricks, and advice but also sharing personal parts of his and his family’s life and what they are learning on the go. This will definitely be a re-read over and over again. Thank you Tyler!

Highly recommend this book regardless of the season of your life

Tyler has a way of telling his story of organizing, cleaning and still staying human.
Being in my senior years, it was reassuring to hear, that being a neatnik was okay. Loved Tyler's sense of humor and transparency.
Wonderful suggestions about ways to be more organized.
I listened to Tidy Up Your Life, while cleaning our home. My old granny would call that "killing two birds with one stone". I enjoy Tyler's monthly newsletter also. Praying God's blessings for you and yours.

Delightful story with very useful information

A very entertaining and humorously written book that will teach you practical skills and inspire you to actually tackle messy areas of your life. I appreciated the empathy and clarity in this book, and the narration was great!

A How-To with Heart

I loved hearing the behind the scenes stories of Tyler’s tidy story and how you can apply this to your own beautiful mess. This is a positive and relatable story with an easy guide on how to take action.

The best book without making you feel stressed about staying organized!

First of all I can't tell you what a good listen this was... it was due to the fact that Tyler read so clearly and with such personality. I felt like I was just watching another one of his Instagram videos of his life. I love how real he is. This book not only gave me so much information but it made me laugh out loud at times. I feel like he is such a great dad and husband and has worked hard to create this beautiful organized ( not perfect and I'm love that he admits that) life with his girls and wife Emily. I recommend this book 100% I'm going to listen again and again!
