Ep 267: What’s Worth Finishing (and What Isn’t) at the End of the Year

Hey secondary teachers juggling multiple preps!

I know the end of the school year can feel totally overwhelming with endless to-do lists and unfinished projects.

In this episode, I’m digging into how to decide what’s actually worth finishing—and what you can confidently let go of—so you can wrap up your year with less stress and more clarity.

I’ll share my three-question filter for sorting end-of-year tasks, practical batching and delegation tips, plus some simple ways to let AI lighten your email and communication load.

If you’re searching for strategies to simplify grading, close out classes, or just survive those last weeks without burning out, this episode is for you. Let’s finish strong without feeling like we have to finish everything!
