Meet Your Tidy Type
Each Tidy Type blends how you begin with how you reset. These mini-rhythms are meant to work with your habits, not against them.
đ Architect
âI design systems that run smoothânot scatter.â
You feel most grounded when your home runs like a calm routine. Labels help your brain relax. Clear steps = less stress.
Your vibe: Zones, checklists, and knowing exactly whatâs next
Try this: Post a âhome zonesâ list on the fridge. Reset one spot each nightâwake up to calm you can count on.
đ Your rhythm: 2 minutes a day. One zone. Done.
đ Curator
âI organize with meaningâevery piece tells a story.â
You like to pause and be intentional. Your spaces donât just workâthey reflect your values. You reset with purpose, not pressure.
Your vibe: Thoughtful zones, meaningful categories, quiet focus
Try this: Choose one drawer or shelf to revisit weekly. Give it meaning: relabel, repurpose, or release what no longer fits.
đ Your rhythm: One focused area each week, with a deeper refresh when it feels right. Clarity you can feel.
đȘ Stylist
âGood vibes start with a good view.â
You lead with your senses. A small shift or refreshed surface can totally change the energy of your spaceâand your mood.
Your vibe: Little moments of visual calm, styled corners, intuitive flow
Try this: Set up an âedit trayâ on a shelf. Restyle one thing whenever you walk by.
đ¶ Your rhythm: One playlist = one tidy-up. Small tweak, big shift.
đ§ș Simplifier
âI keep what mattersâand let the rest go fast.â
You move quickly and keep things light. If itâs not essential, itâs out. Youâre not here to overthinkâyouâre here to reset and breathe.
Your vibe: Breathing room, open space, decisions made fast and clean
Try this: Pick a âBlank Space Day.â Empty one bin. Only the essentials go back in.
đ§Œ Your rhythm: When the binâs full, itâs time to donate. Simple as that.
âNo matter your type, the goal isnât perfectionâitâs finding your own tidy rhythm. Start small. Keep going. Youâve got this.â
