If you're a middle or high school teacher looking to declutter and get organized before summer break, this episode is a must-listen.

As a former teacher myself, I know how overwhelming the end of the school year can be.

But by implementing a system like "4S" and taking the time to declutter and organize, you can set yourself up for a successful and stress-free summer break.

Plus, having a clean and organized classroom to come back to in the fall can make all the difference in starting the year off on the right foot.

So why not give it a try and see how it can benefit you and your students?
