I spent a recent fall morning with Cris Alsum, pronouns she/her, and Founder of Simply Alsum Organizing. Cris is a wife and mom of two young adult daughters who has spent most of her career in various office administration roles and has parlayed her passion for serving others, simplifying systems, and managing details into a brand new book, "Lighten the Load, A Step-by-Step Plan for Decluttering and Downsizing.” She’s also a planner nerd and could talk about time management and planners all day long!

We carve out an hour to think out loud together. I'd love you to listen in! She's so easy to talk to, and she is living her mission!

  • IKEA. But is this heaven?!? 
  • Defining clutter, stuff, and other shit
  • "Don't wait too long!"
  • Oophtah, separating the person from the stuff
  • S.O.R.T. - a method for the madness

Cris's book, Lighten the Load, is available on Amazon. She hosts support groups in Northern Colorado. She speaks and hosts workshops. You can learn about her magic and connect with her online here:
