About the Author

He is an author, trainer, simplicity coach and certified Job Club Facilitator. His enthusiasm, laughter and passion for life is the key to his personality.

Paul Talbot started working with other people's clutter in 1994. At that time, he was a facilitator and counsellor for the Vancouver Friend's for Life Society, a non-profit group helping and supporting people living with life-threatening illnesses, their families and caregivers. He had a client that had moved several times and was about to move again, always with the same six or eight unopened boxes. It would appear that those boxes were never opened in four years plus. So Paul offered to sort out the boxes and help the client downsize and give away many items whilst he was still alive, all at the same time. In order to get organized, Paul felt the need to find some help and looking in a bookstore, he found, Simplify Your Life, by Elaine St. James. This book became Paul's model and from there his workshop was born. Also used was the book, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, by Richard Carlson.

Since his personal experience with cancer in November 1998, he has again re-evaluated and simplified his life further. Paul believes if your stuff in your life, which includes relationships, no longer has value and purpose, it is time to let it or them go. Remember when you bring something new into your life, let something else go. It is not always necessary to fill the space or void. Live with the void for awhile.
