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.
