Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Ginger on March 26, 2025

This is going to sound so sexist, but I swear I checked four times to make sure this was written by a man. His brain works very, very similarly to mine, so this book resonated with me more than other books on simplifying and tidying. I love how he focused on doing a mental tidying before even approa......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on January 08, 2025

Nothing super ground breaking here, but I like that he actually lives with a family in an actually small place, and focuses on workflows and what you actually need for your space/life rather than just aesthetics and decluttering. There's no pictures at all, which is fine but not what I expected give......more

Goodreads review by Hollis on February 01, 2025

Found via clutterbug podcast. More of an (interesting ) autobiography than a how to as none of the information is new or groundbreaking.......more

Goodreads review by Stacy on February 03, 2025

If you enjoy the organization genre, this is a good one. I've read them all--- Kondo is a bit too minimalist... Clea & Joanna can be more aspirational than realistic... this book falls in a sweet spot- practical & motivational. Bonus follow @tidydad on IG- it's a fun account!......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on November 09, 2024

Tyler is such a positive spirit, and you’ll finish this book not only with practical tips and mindsets to live a tidier life, but with an enthusiasm for intentionality and a personalized perspective on “success.”......more
