Ep 272: How to Transition from Chaos to Clarity Before You Clock Out

Hey fellow secondary teachers juggling multiple preps! Ever feel like your brain is swirling with unfinished tasks as the school year wraps up?

In this episode, I’m sharing my best actionable strategies to help you transition from chaos to clarity—before you even clock out for summer break.

I’ll walk you through how to handle those lingering to-dos, reset a single space (without overhauling your whole classroom), use AI to prep a “start here” plan for next year, and leave yourself a pep talk your August self will thank you for.

If you’re looking for practical ways to reduce overwhelm, wrap up your year with intention, and actually enjoy your break (without bringing all the chaos with you), this one’s for you!
