Summary
If you're a dad, especially if you have younger kids, then you know how quickly your home can go from clean and organized to a chaotic disaster.

Tyler is a public school teacher, best-selling author of Tidy Up Your Life: Rethinking How to Organize, Declutter, and Make Space for What Matters Most, and perhaps most impressive, is that he's a father of three living in a 700 square foot apartment in New York City. Squeezing five people (including three children) into a 700 square foot apartment is not easy. He doesn't have the luxury of excess physical space that many of us do. And yet, his apartment stays cleaner, more organized, and more efficient than the vast majority of living spaces. Mine included. And you know what? After Tyler created a system to keep his 700 square foot apartment clean, organized, and useful … he realized how crucial his "tidying up" methods are when applied to other, more important areas of life like his relationships, his career, and his overall life.

Here's what Tyler and I discuss: How to declutter your life according to a dad of three living in a 700 square foot apartment in New York City The vicious way keeping up with the joneses fills your house with useless stuff How physical decluttering and organization applies to more important area…
