In this episode of The Scrappy Piano Teacher Podcast, I’m joined by Amy Chaplin from Piano Pantry to talk about digital organization and why it matters far more than most teachers realize.

We discuss how digital clutter quietly drains mental energy, why email overwhelm is so common for music teachers, and how organization systems should support your life rather than add more pressure.

This conversation is especially helpful if your inbox feels out of control, your files are scattered everywhere, or you keep telling yourself you’ll “organize it later.”

● Why digital organization is not a one time project● How cluttered files and inboxes contribute to burnout● Where to start when everything feels overwhelming● The importance of small, maintainable systems● Accountability and learning alongside other teachers● Using tools like Notion in a flexible, realistic way
