303: The End-of-Year Checklist for a Better August

Last night I dreamed I was teaching in a new classroom, except it had layers of stuff on the walls from three other teachers across twenty years of teaching. I couldn't find anything, and I couldn't change the set-up because I didn't know what was important to my colleagues. It was awful. Am I the only one to ever have a classroom set-up nightmare? Maybe. But the thing is, where you teach and how it feels really does help shape your year. So what can you do right now, during this final push to summer, to leave yourself a beautiful, organized space to return to at back-to-school season? Today's episode will give you seven steps you can take right now to make your August exponentially lighter. If you can find time for these steps now, I believe you'll head into summer feeling lighter and more confident about your return later on.
