Simplicity Can Save Your Sanity: A Teacher’s Guide to Clarity
Discover how simplicity can transform your teaching and well-being. In this episode of the Why Edify Podcast, Jeremy Jorgensen shares 6 powerful ways educators can reduce overwhelm, create clarity, and focus on what truly matters.
Life in the classroom moves fast—too fast sometimes. Between lesson plans, student needs, overflowing inboxes, and that stack of papers you swear you’ll grade soon, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly chasing your tail. But what if the key to being a stronger, happier teacher isn’t doing more… but doing less?
In this episode of the Why Edify Podcast, we’re talking about the quiet power of simplicity. I’ll walk you through six areas of your teaching life—space, schedule, communication, lessons, self-talk, and transitions—where small shifts can make a big impact. No giant overhaul needed, just a little breathing room.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted, or just in need of a mindset refresh, this episode will help you create more space for what truly matters in your life and your classroom.
