The 33rd Edition of the Book Festival of the MJCCA Presents

Andrew Mellen, Unstuff Your Life!

In conversation with Rabbi Brian Glusman, Outreach Director and Rabbi, MJCCA

Author Talk, Q & A & Book Signing

People think they can manage time the way they manage money and other tangible things. But Andrew Mellen, the “Most Organized Man in America,” has discovered that the only way to increase productivity sustainably is to change our relationship with time—our most precious and nonrenewable resource.

Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with common sense and compassionate tough love, Mellen will help you call bullsh*t on the cultures of FOMO and wearing “busy” as a badge of honor. By getting real about how you’re currently spending your time, you will learn how to quickly set yourself free from the stories that have kept you stuck—feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed out every day.

Transform your life as you learn the most effective ways to:

• Break free from procrastination’s grip

• Stop multitasking

• Manage interruptions, distractions, and time wasters like social media

• Avoid time-wasting meetings and run effective ones instead

• Treat “no” as a complete sentence

• Tame the other deadly time thieves, including poor planning and overcommitting
