More Love, Less Stuff
You know you could be better organized, but often feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Expanding on the tools and solutions explored in Unstuff Your Life!, this workshop helps participants identify major clutter hot spots at home or work and create simple action plans to tackle those problem areas when they return home. Each participant will leave with 3 (or more) easy fixes they can quickly apply to create more space and harmony, along with new skills that will allow them to face future challenges with clarity, speed and a sense of humor.
Lighten Your Load by Living Your Values
Many people declare they know what is important to them, yet consistently make choices that complicate rather than simplify their lives and work. Not surprisingly, clutter, chronic lateness and disorganization are the natural results when your choices are out of integrity with your core values. Fortunately, it’s easy to bring your life back into alignment to increase your overall wellbeing and expand your happiness. Through personal and group exercises, rediscover what really matters and how to reinforce those values with every choice, from “what’s for lunch?” to major life decisions.

Everything means everything—your workspace, your home, your time and your life. Without clutter and disorganization to distract you, you will finally have free time for what matters. Andrew believes we waste precious time procrastinating, building unsatisfying relationships with inanimate objects—things that can’t reciprocate our affection and stand between us and happiness.

Andrew’s frank, practical and compassionate approach has won him fans and followers from CEOs, psychologists and award-winning artists to educators, activists and overwhelmed parents everywhere. For over 18 years, he’s maintained a practice working one-to-one with individuals, as well as one-to-many with SMEs, non-profits and multinational corporations including Goldman Sachs, American Express, Bank of America, Genentech, NetApp, Time, Inc. and the US Departments of Education and Homeland Security. He speaks internationally on organization, simplifying, sustainability and productivity at conferences such as Dwell on Design, Sustainatopia, Great British Business Show, Dad 2.0, BlogHer and Fresh Business Thinking. He writes a column for Real Simple (Ask the Organizer) and is a frequent contributor and/or source for multiple publications.
