This is the first video i incidentally saw while watching another organizer's playlist. I'm so grateful for the simplicity with which it is all presented and the organizational triangle. Love it!

Thank you for putting this out there. My Dad recently passed away and I’m overwhelmed by “physical family history”. I feel like this has helped give me permission to let things go.

To me that speaks of all the people who are living in clutter & have not yet found Andrew.

The thing I like about Andrew is that he tells you the truth... which I can tell the audience wasn't ready to hear. And he's funny ..though I can't tell if he means to be or not. I think a lot people don't want to hear it. It's harsh to hear the truth sometimes. Andrew only had 30 minutes to charm and convince them that he knows what he's talking about. I think a lot of the audience just thinks he's being brutal. I think they think their reason for keeping something is special or unique ... when it's the same reason why other people hold onto something. That woman with the 19 year old daughter probably thinks Andrew is heartless... but he's right. If she's complaining about her daughter's stuff then the daughter has to deal with it. And if the mom really thinks her daughter doesn't have the maturity to deal with the sentimental feelings, then the mom has to take responsibility to say, 'i'm allowing my daughter to take time to make these decisions' and the mom has to not complain about the stuff. But really, at 19, you can teach your daughter how to start dealing with her feelings. As i'm learning to let go (and it's admittedly hard) i'm teaching my children who are still kids, about key ideas about a healthy relationship with stuff so they don't make the same mistakes I made. So 19 is not too early. I've listened to this twice now with time in between and he was ahead of his time.

Ridiculously amazing Andrew. Blunt to most I’m sure, and not ready to hear what your truth speaks. Myself not having a clutter problem I’m telling people listen to this over and over until your brain allows you to hear the truth and then do as he speaks.. I’ve never heard some of these points of view expressed in your words. Thank you for wanting to help anyone wanting to commit to change their life in this area

I found if I photograph sentimental items I can let them go to a new home. I still have the sentimental photo in Evernote to rekindle those memories.

I can’t throw my kids stuff I feel like I’m throwing there memories away

Janelle, of course you CAN throw away your kids's stuff ... you may choose NOT to and that's your choice. I would only suggest that you reframe your mindset from one of CAN'T to WON'T or DON'T WANT TO ... you state clearly that it FEELS like you're throwing the memories away but of course, your memories reside inside YOU not in an inanimate object. That object, whatever it is, can't possibly be responsible for keeping a memory alive. Only you can do that. I hope that helps!
