Welcome to Day 4 of the Chaos to Clarity Challenge! Today, we’re diving into the top drawer of doom, a task every teacher knows all too well.

Now, onto today’s challenge: Clearing out the clutter. Clutter isn’t just physical, it’s mental. An organised space fosters calmness, fresh energy, and creativity. Decluttering brings a sense of control and refreshes your teaching environment, so let’s make it happen.

First, tackle the infamous top drawer. Be ruthless - if it’s sticky, expired, or unidentifiable, toss it. Next, purge your pencil case. Sharpen anything salvageable and discard what’s broken.

Move on to your student caddies. Test everything, toss what doesn’t work, and restock. Don’t forget to audit your art supplies, saying goodbye to dried-up paint and crusty brushes. Finally, refresh your fabrics by replacing old tea towels and cloths.

A clutter-free environment sets the tone for a smoother teaching experience and allows you to spark joy in the small, organised victories.

When you’ve finished, take a moment to reward yourself. Whether it’s a piece of chocolate, a coffee, or scrolling through teacher memes, you’ve earned it.

Today’s challenge might seem small, but its impact is significant. By creating space for clarity, you’re setting the stage for better energy and productivity.

If you uncover any hilarious or horrifying “top drawer treasures,” DM on Instagram.

Here’s to a cleaner space, a clearer mind, and a happier you! 💫
