Optimising communication performances for creative pioneers under pressure
DON’T WASTE I™ was founded by Bastiaan van der Sluis and operates inside high-pressure, time-scarce environments with international creative pioneers. The practice focuses on communication performance: restoring headspace, sharpening decision quality, and removing noise and friction from complex systems. The work is situational, precise, and discreet. It happens within the system while it is moving. More clarity. Fewer and faster decisions. Less waste.

EXPERIENCES
“I always feel very inspired and motivated after my calls with Bastiaan.
He helps me make things more concrete and tangible, and it lifts a real weight off my chest while working in a fast-paced environment”.
Basile Fournier / Founder Studio Basile Fournier
“One coffee with Bastiaan cleared almost 30% of my mental space. His talent for asking meaningful questions and offering grounded, practical insights is genuinely transformative.”
Colin Schram / Founder Studio Raito
“Bastiaan didn't try to declutter my brain — he just laid out all the puzzle pieces, super clear and structured. Left feeling energised and focused. Turns out you don't need less chaos, just someone who can map it without killing it.”
Joachim Baan / Founder Another Something
“When I’m deep in production mode, it’s hard to keep perspective. Bastiaan helped me slow down just enough to clarify priorities, reduce friction, and move forward with more confidence”.
Phil Procter / Founder Studio Phil Procter
“As a studio founder, I feel grateful to have Bastiaan on my side.
Someone to call up day & night if there is a challenge or newly born ambition. Someone to bounce ideas and get reality checks to increase growth as a person and business.”
Rene van Dijk / Founder Rene.Studio
