About Anderson Productivity Solutions
My name is Andrea Anderson, founder and principal of Anderson Productivity Solutions. Many times in my life as an educator, family counselor, and operations manager, I found myself in paper-intensive work environments, and I was frustrated, just like you.
I love systems so I’m always looking for ideas, products, or programs that will increase my own productivity and make life easier. I also happen to love telling others about what I've found and sharing my discoveries with them.
So, in 2002, when I was desperately searching for a solution to a colleague’s ongoing request to help her "get organized", I discovered the Paper Tiger filing system. First, I purchased the system for myself and found that I could now file the piles of paper on my own desk and be able to find them in 5 seconds or less! (This was the guarantee!)
Next, I implemented the system in my colleague’s office. It finally ended the "thanks-for-organizing-my-office,-but-now-I-can't-find-anything" conversations we had on a monthly basis. She could now find anything we filed in 5 seconds or less too!
I continued my quest for optimal organization and found what you probably realize as well. There is a difference between "getting organized" and "creating and sustaining a productive environment". It quickly became a passion of mine to seek out and try proven systems in the organizing world…and tell others about them.
Then a few years later, I was contacted by Hemphill Productivity Institute and offered an opportunity to become a PTAC! (Productivity Trainer Authorized Consultant for the Paper Tiger Software and Barbara Hemphill's Productive Environment Processes) I enrolled in training, and hit the ground running. Within 5 months, I had left my full time career as an operations manager for a family preservation agency, and began helping other people feel the peace and satisfaction that comes from creating and sustaining a productive environment. I became a full time Productivity Trainer & Organizing Coach.
My greatest joy is helping my clients "see light at the end of the tunnel". They are overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. (Does that sound familiar?) I have the privilege of giving them a starting point, then coaching them through the, sometimes painful, process of getting their "stuff" in order.
I feel honored to put the skills from my previous careers (education, family counseling, and operations) into practice in a way that can powerfully impact your life—allowing you to "simplify life to elevate purpose". Life is short! How much time do you spend looking for lost information?
So whether you have an office in your home, or you're in a corporate environment (or somewhere in between!) I'm thrilled to be able to help you create and sustain your own productive environment! Contact me today to schedule an appointment for a free consultation. I look forward to helping you "see the light."
Sincerely,
