Tidy up your life : rethinking how to organize, declutter, and make space for what matters most / by Moore, Tyler,author.;
"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. Drawing on his 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 Big Picture overwhelm-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 "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 eliminate intensive weekend cleaning. Helpful illustrations of Tidy Dad's innovative organizing concepts"--

The address : a novel / by Davis, Fiona,1966-author.;
"Fiona Davis, author of The dollhouse, returns with a compelling novel about the thin lines between love and loss, success and ruin, passion and madness, all hidden behind the walls of The Dakota, New York City's most famous residence. After a failed apprenticeship, working her way up to head housekeeper of a posh London hotel is more than Sara Smythe ever thought she'd make of herself. But when a chance encounter with Theodore Camden, one of the architects of the grand New York apartment house The Dakota, leads to a job offer, her world is suddenly awash in possibility--no mean feat for a servant in 1884. The opportunity to move to America, where a person can rise above one's station. The opportunity to be the female manager of The Dakota, which promises to be the greatest apartment house in the world. And the opportunity to see more of Theo, who understands Sara like no one else. and is living in The Dakota with his wife and three young children. In 1985, Bailey Camdenis desperate for new opportunities. Fresh out of rehab, the former party girl and interior designer is homeless, jobless, and penniless. Two generations ago, Bailey's grandfather was the ward of famed architect Theodore Camden. But the absence of a genetic connection means Bailey won't see a dime of the Camden family's substantial estate. Instead, her 'cousin' Melinda--Camden's biologicalgreat-granddaughter--will inherit almost everything. So when Melinda offers to let Bailey oversee the renovation of her lavish Dakota apartment, Bailey jumps at the chance, despite her dislike of Melinda's vision. The renovation will take away all the character and history of the apartment Theodore Camden himself lived in. and died in, after suffering multiple stab wounds by a madwoman named Sara Smythe, a former Dakota employee who had previously spent seven months in an insane asylum on Blackwell's Island. One hundred years apart, Sara and Bailey are both tempted by and struggle against the golden excess of their respective ages--for Sara, the opulence of a world ruled by the Astors and Vanderbilts; for Bailey, the free-flowing drinks and cocaine in the nightclubs of New York City--and take refuge and solace in the Upper West Side's gilded fortress. But a building with a history as rich--and often tragic--as The Dakota's can't hold its secrets forever, and what Bailey discovers in its basement could turn everything she thought she knew about Theodore Camden--and the woman who killed him--on its head. With rich historical detail, nuanced characters, and gorgeous prose, Fiona Davis once again delivers a compulsively readable novel that peels back the layers of not only a famed institution, but the lives --and lies--of the beating hearts within"--
