De-Own Your Stuff! For many, the goal is to declutter, downsize and organize to simplify their lives. But by organizing, we create only a temporary solution for the real problem at hand. We simply have too much stuff and we will have to organize it again and again. By thinning out your possessions, you have a chance to evaluate your life and purchases and even help others when you pass on things you don't use. Instead of decluttering, try de-owning and start on the path toward a major lifestyle change with less future organizing to do. In this 3-hour workshop, we will explore 13 ways to get rid of stuff and live larger with less..

Notes:

Possession paralysis is real. The sheer volume of possessions we acquire over decades become an obstacle to the pursuit of life-long dreams. We¿ll kick off the class with a discussion of the real issues within ourselves, the reason we have 30 rolls of paper towels and not enough extra cash. We¿ll create a plan for letting go of physical things; dealing with 10 of the stickiest possession problems and how to decide if an item is trash or a treasure. By the end of the class, we will set all prisoners free from possession and procrastination. If you are not yet convinced to get take this class, think about the mess you are leaving your family to deal with if the downsizing and disposal falls to them! Do you really want to leave this burden to your family?.
