Why waste time getting organized when your real problem is STAYING organized?
The Unstuff Your Life System® gives you everything you need—the tools, live instruction, AND accountability—to conquer clutter fast, and more importantly, for good.
You can finally say goodbye to clutter AND have a fool-proof way of keeping your home tidy, functional and yes ... even beautiful.
In just 10 weeks, you can have a home you love ... and more free time for all those "someday" projects you've been dreaming of for years.
Does any of this sound familiar … ?
You start out strong but in a few weeks lose interest and momentum?
Or something unexpected happens and everything falls apart again?
Do you race around when someone’s coming over, then shove everything into a bag or box to deal with “later?”
Maybe you’re so overwhelmed that you can’t figure out where to start … so you don’t.
Or you just keep moving things all over the place until you collapse in a heap of exhaustion and frustration?
And you STILL can’t find anything when you need it.
Have you resigned yourself that it just must be YOU … that the reason nothing works is because there’s something wrong with you?
Maybe you’ve tried other online programs but the videos were pre-recorded, boring and hard to follow?
Or the platform was ugly and you could never find the lessons and handouts you were looking for.
And even though it said it was a class, you felt isolated and alone and struggled to stay motivated?
Maybe most importantly, there was NO ONE to hold you accountable to actually DO the work … so you didn’t.
If any of that sounds like you, keep reading …
Mary Lynn Baker
I have been set free!
Before The Unstuff Your Life System®, I had paper everywhere, and struggled to maintain—much less use—my filing system.
Now, I have a “home” for all incoming paper, my kitchen table is clear, my filing system is simplified and easier to use, and I have tossed tons of paper I now know I don’t need.
And let me tell you about my closets!
Every day was a struggle in the morning. I would literally stand in the front of the closet for as long as 30 minutes before I would just grab something out of frustration and then race to start me day. I wore the same things over and over and yet my closet was bursting with thousands of dollars of clothes I NEVER WORE!
Now, I open my closet in the morning and I feel like I’m shopping at Saks … even though a lot of my favorite things came from Marshalls! All my closets look neat and organized and I can find anything I want in an instant. This has been life changing.
I never understood how my morning “routine” was ruining my mood and stressing me out and now I start the day with a smile on my face.
Thanks to Andrew, I finally have a system I know I can maintain!

I am finally unstuffing myself!
OMG, I have been “stuffed” for so long I almost forgot what it feels like to relax and just be. Some of my clutter is 30 years old.
What truly spoke to me about The Unstuff Your Life System® and Andrew’s approach to organizing was the idea that I was not letting go of certain things because of the stories that I told myself about the things that I was keeping.
Talk about an “Aha” moment!
Now, having worked my way through The UYLS® and used The Organizational Triangle® rigorously, I can see an end in sight and I know I can eliminate clutter in my home and keep it that way.
Everything that I have ever loved to do revolved around the accumulation of paper. I had even begun to think that I needed to give up some of the things that I love. Nothing could have been further from the truth. I still have the things I love but when something comes in, something also goes out. Amazing.
I cannot tell you how much I value the gift that Andrew has given me—the gift of order and peace.

Here's a quick review of the total value of everything you get …
Violetta Jacunz
This program pays for itself!
I love how simple, direct and compassionate Andrew is without letting us off the hook!
I’ve taken dozens of ‘self-improvement’ programs and even a few decluttering and minimalism courses trying to solve this puzzle. And then I found him. The way Andrew explains things and breaks them down removes all my resistance and encourages me to do more than I ever thought possible while still working full time and raising a family.
And the most surprising thing of all is that I’m actually enjoying it while I’m doing it.
Oh, and by the way, The UYLS® program just paid for itself.
I decided that for my accountability task today, I’d finally go to Staples to return a printer we’ve had sitting waiting to go back.
Once there I learned the return window wasn’t as long as I thought and if I’d waited one more day I’d be stuck with a $350 printer that I can’t use. Ka-ching! (cue heavenly music with angel’s trumpets).”
I also found $250 in the pocket of an old jacket destined for the Goodwill AND a check from a client I thought had stiffed me for over $600 … it’s like this program is printing money!

You’ve set me free from years of being stuck!
Before this program, I would just make piles of papers on every surface and keep moving.
As soon as the course began, something in me clicked and I started opening mail, shredding mail, and getting rid of years of paper that had been weighing me down and stressing me out.
In just two weeks, I processed ALL that old mail, including going through all my credit card statements and verifying every charge, including ones from years ago.
After Andrew walked us through it, the process was remarkably short, painless and smooth. I guess I just needed his gentle prodding, encouragement, and inspiration!
And Andrew's values exercises reinforced for me (yet again) that my day job doesn't mesh well in so many ways with who I am.
So for the last couple of weeks, I have been leading a spiritual-growth group. Thanks to this work, I've found an outlet for my desire to help others spiritually.
I feel that Andrew and the UYLS® have had an incredibly large positive impact on me and my wife, and I'm really so very grateful for all of Andrew's time, passion and wisdom. Thank you!
Andrew, I’ve got questions …
I wish I could share this program with everyone I know!
I was an early subscriber to The Unstuff Your Life System® and I have benefited tremendously.
Even being in a different time zone, I’ve been able to attend some live sessions and can always access the course materials when it’s convenient for my schedule.
Andrew is truly the expert—with each module, I feel he has hit the bull’s eye with his advice, instruction and compassion.
Even highly educated people need organizational coaching—ha, ha!
I pride myself on being pretty smart, but Andrew has my admiration for his professionalism and wisdom.
How I wish I could introduce Andrew and his program to others in my area but until The UYLS® is offered in Chinese, that will remain a dream.
Thank you once again!

I WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS PROGRAM IS SO SPECIAL!
That’s easy! There aren’t any programs out there like this one—period. There are dozens of self-help “get organized” programs, including one from that Japanese lady. Three things make this program unique and guarantee your success: 1) We teach and coach you LIVE so you get exactly the help and support you need every step of the way. 2) We focus on STAYING organized which is really the problem. You’ve gotten organized a million times already … but nothing sticks. That’s because you’re focused on the beginning of the process, not the end. And 3) We focus on YOU and not the stuff. Look, stuff is great but stuff stays right where YOU leave it. The stuff doesn’t need to get organized, YOU need to change HOW you interact with stuff. That’s our secret formula!
I DON’T HAVE THE TIME NOW TO GET ORGANIZED. CAN’T I DO THIS LATER?
Are you kidding me? More importantly, are you kidding yourself?! Every day you wait is another day you are stressed out, unhappy and wasting time you will never get back! Make no mistake about it, the clock is ticking and you don’t have a moment to lose. Besides, you can work the program at your own pace so even if you only have 15 minutes a day, you can start to shift your home and your life so you get immediate relief. NOW is the perfect time to get and stay organized.
WHAT IF I MISS ONE OF THE LIVE COACHING CALLS?
Not a problem! We know you have a life, even if it’s a currently bit disorganized! Every one of our LIVE coaching calls are recorded and placed on our private site so you can watch them whenever you want as often as you want. Of course, you’ll get the most benefit from showing up live to get your questions answered, but the materials will always be available to you, 24/7/365.
I LIVE ALONE. CAN I REALLY DO THIS BY MYSELF?
Yes you can! I’ve helped thousands of individuals and families to get and stay organized for good. And the great thing is that once you DO get organized, we will help you find any support you need to STAY organized. Need help with insurance? We’ve got referrals. How about accounting and taxes? Covered. You’ll finally know what you need to know and what you need to know but don’t need to do so you can get back to living your life clutter- and stress-free.
ANDREW, WHAT IF I FALL BEHIND?
Not to worry! You have FOREVER ACCESS to the online modules. So once you join you can always go back into the course, watch any videos and get our help when you need it.
PLUS you have FOREVER ACCESS to our RECORDED coaching calls and our amazing Online Mastermind group coaching. Keep in mind that our private BAND group is not just a place to socialize and waste time online—this is where you post your homework, your wins, and your challenges so we can comment on and help you solve problems. This is one of the most powerful aspects of our course. There is not another online course that offers our level of interaction and support and we’re proud of that.
AM I ON MY OWN HERE? WHAT IF I NEED MOTIVATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY?
We’ve got you covered! That’s one of the things that makes our program unique. Not only do you get to use me and the group for accountability, but you also get an accountability buddy that you can use to stay focused each week and even every day if you want. I’ve used my accountability buddy for the past 4 years and I can’t imagine running my business without checking in with her. You’ll also have FOREVER ACCESS to our expert support in the Online private group, from me, my team and from each other. Once you’re a part of the Unstuff community, you’ll never be alone again. We’ve got your back and we’re committed to your success. You also have the option to have private time with me or my team if you need it—and that can be arranged at an additional cost.
I’m Andrew Mellen and I’ve been organized my entire adult life … but I wasn't always organized.
Just ask my mom!
Back in 1996, I got laid off from a theater I was running in Seattle right before Christmas. It was horrible timing and it really flattened me out. I was completely blindsided and even though I had some good friends in Seattle, my family and friends were mostly back east.
So I left Seattle and went and spent the summer in a cabin my mom had on a lake in Michigan. I spent weeks writing and swimming and trying to heal from having my life turned upside down. And then a friend called with a gig—he was producing an awards ceremony at the Kennedy Center and needed some help. I think I said yes before he finished offering me the job!
As it happened, one of the awardees was a Nobel Peace Prize winner in NYC. So I went to the man’s office to get some photographs for the ceremony and when I got there, what I found was a mess. Photos were missing, mislabeled and generally unorganized. I spent a few hours digging through the files and by the time I was finished, he and his wife asked me if I would like to work for them and organize their photos when the awards project was over.
I was blown away.
Here was a man I had know of for years and he was offering me a job AND a job back in the city I loved—New York. I started to cry and said YES! I couldn’t believe my luck and this amazing opportunity. We made a date for me to start and then something came up and he rescheduled. And this happened every month for four months. So I never actually went to work for him.
But over those four months, I told every person I met that I had a job creating a comprehensive photographic archive for a Nobel Peace Prize winner! A friend overheard me talking and referred me to her accountant who she knew needed to create a filing system at her office. I did that job and then the accountant started referring HER clients to me.
People would show up at my apartment with a duffel bag full of receipts and papers and a terrified look on their faces and say, “I haven’t filed my taxes in 5 years. I’m getting letters from the IRS and I am scared to death that I’m going to go to jail. Can you help me?!”
So I would organize their papers and enter all of the data into a spreadsheet or a program like Quicken or Quickbooks, give that all to the accountant, the accountant would file their taxes and these people were amazed. They would thank me and thank me and then they would tell all their friends … and then their friends would call me to do the same thing for them.
And then something occurred to me.I had been telling stories in theaters for years hoping to help people make the kinds of changes in their lives so they could live happier and better lives. And here I was helping people clean up the messes of their lives so they could do the same thing. And that’s when I committed to doing this work full-time.
A lot has happened since then but one thing has stayed the same—my commitment to my own growth and the growth and happiness of every person I’m privileged enough to interact with. I learned first hand that by trusting my instincts and saying yes to an opportunity EVEN WHEN it didn’t make sense or look like anything I had ever done before, something magical happened.
And that has been how I’ve lived my life ever since.
Over the course of my career, I’ve helped clients navigate births, deaths and divorce and keep their lives together. I helped one client file a bunch of insurance claims the first week we worked together and 3 weeks later she got a check for over $10,000 in the mail! Another client had 4 storage spaces when I met her, costing her over $1800 a month in rent just for stuff. Within 2 months of working together, we had emptied out all those spaces and stopped that monthly bleeding and she’s never had a storage space since.

One woman was moving and could not empty out her attic—all her kids’ clothes and toys were up there and she had just been through an awful divorce. Together we went through every item up there AND sent off her children’s clothes to a seamstress I know to have them turned into a beautiful heirloom quilt.
These are the kinds of results I want for you, too.
I hope you join us so I tell someone YOUR success story, too.

I’m Andrew Mellen and I’ve been organized my entire adult life … but I wasn't always organized.
Just ask my mom!
Back in 1996, I got laid off from a theater I was running in Seattle right before Christmas. It was horrible timing and it really flattened me out. I was completely blindsided and even though I had some good friends in Seattle, my family and friends were mostly back east.
So I left Seattle and went and spent the summer in a cabin my mom had on a lake in Michigan. I spent weeks writing and swimming and trying to heal from having my life turned upside down. And then a friend called with a gig—he was producing an awards ceremony at the Kennedy Center and needed some help. I think I said yes before he finished offering me the job!
As it happened, one of the awardees was a Nobel Peace Prize winner in NYC. So I went to the man’s office to get some photographs for the ceremony and when I got there, what I found was a mess. Photos were missing, mislabeled and generally unorganized. I spent a few hours digging through the files and by the time I was finished, he and his wife asked me if I would like to work for them and organize their photos when the awards project was over.
I was blown away.
Here was a man I had know of for years and he was offering me a job AND a job back in the city I loved—New York. I started to cry and said YES! I couldn’t believe my luck and this amazing opportunity. We made a date for me to start and then something came up and he rescheduled. And this happened every month for four months. So I never actually went to work for him.
But over those four months, I told every person I met that I had a job creating a comprehensive photographic archive for a Nobel Peace Prize winner! A friend overheard me talking and referred me to her accountant who she knew needed to create a filing system at her office. I did that job and then the accountant started referring HER clients to me.
People would show up at my apartment with a duffle bag full of receipts and papers and a terrified look on their faces and say, “I haven’t filed my taxes in 5 years. I’m getting letters from the IRS and I am scared to death that I’m going to go to jail. Can you help me?!”
So I would organize their papers and enter all of the data into a spreadsheet or a program like Quicken or Quickbooks, give that all to the accountant, the accountant would file their taxes and these people were amazed. They would thank me and thank me and then they would tell all their friends … and then their friends would call me to do the same thing for them.
