Organizing Your Space and Mind: Lessons from Tidy Dad, Tyler Moore

This week, I’m excited to welcome Tyler Moore, also known as Tidy Dad, to the show to discuss his new book, Tidy Up Your Life: Rethinking How to Organize, Declutter, and Make Space for What Matters. Tyler is a teacher, writer, and advocate for creating intentional, organized spaces that support well-being. Through his Tidy Dad brand, he shares practical strategies for simplifying life and focusing on what truly matters.

In this conversation, we cover:

• The Birth of Tidy Dad: Tyler shares how a personal turning point led him to embrace tidying and organization as a means to regain control over his life.
• Tidying as a Mental and Physical Process: The book is divided into two key sections—tidying up your mind and tidying up your space. Tyler explains why internal clarity is just as important as external organization.
• The Power of Just Enough: Instead of strict minimalism, Tyler introduces the idea of finding “just enough” to create balance and space for what truly matters.
• Breaking Big Tasks into Manageable Steps: He discusses how breaking overwhelming projects into smaller steps leads to sustainable, lasting change.
• Balancing Family, Work, and Home Responsibilities: Tyler shares insights on how his family collaborates to maintain an organized, functional living space and how these principles extend beyond the home.

Tyler’s approach is relatable and practical, making organization feel achievable rather than overwhelming. Whether you’re looking to declutter your home, streamline your mental load, or establish sustainable routines, this episode is packed with insights to help you tidy up your life in a way that works for you.
