Is trying to make my closet "efficient" going too

Is trying to make my closet "efficient" going too far? 🤔

(While everyone decompresses from the school year, I'm hoping to share Simplified Summer Systems that teachers can implement to simplify life before 🤫*fall*)

I've been watching a LOT of YouTube while rocking the baby and I've left with the dramatic urge to minimize my closet because of the crazy benefits.of having less clothes!

1. Have you ever noticed some of the most successful people in the world are total outfit repeaters? They claim removing the decision of what to wear gives them more ability to focus on everything else the day brings... And they're pretty successful so it's gotta work, right?!

2. When you have more clothes you spend more time organizing, folding, putting off laundry, and debating which outfit to wear. The simple act of having less items means less time spent doing things we really dont enjoy anyways.

2.5 less clothes also means you probably only own what fits so there's no unnecessary pressure of picking out something to wear that you won't feel total confidence in!

3. The statistic that stuck out to me (which was admittedly made up by the YouTuber but still rings pretty) is that we wear 20% of our closet 80% of the time 🤯 and if it's true for you then why do we even store that other MASSIVE portion of our closet?!

I've been sharing how I've gone through my whole closet and donating over 6 garbage bags of clothes in my stories and will put together a blog post this week for you!

Now, what questions or unique clothing solutions do you have that I can include?!

Ok, but like how early is too early? I've been on

Ok, but like how early is too early?

I've been on maternity leave since the end of February so while I get everyone is super DONE...I'm in this weird place feeling ready to go!

I'm also addicted to lesson planning after the hot mess that was my first year of teaching (I've got a YouTube video linked in my bio that walks you through my process if you want to nerd out like me!)

But for the sanity of everyone around me I'll just channel my energies into some fun projects like minimalism, learning piano, and maybe prepping this @shop.callie.danielle planner for when the time's right 😉

So, what's something you're doing this summer that's just for you?!

Throwback to this time last year when I was readin

Throwback to this time last year when I was reading a book a week. 📚

Then fast forward to today and I'm 15/52 for my reading goal this year and totally fine with it.

Last year called for "relaxation" and "escape" through books. I had all the time to myself when I wanted to read another chapter or 4.

This year is different. This year was about survival and managing change after change and then adding a baby in the mix.

I also found that my subject of choice moved from fun YA dystopian fiction to podcasts about personal development and NGSS implementation and those just don't filter into Goodreads as well 😂

My relaxing into a fictional future world turned into my desire to learn more about how to be better in my classroom. I changed, so my goal changed.

Realizing goals change, need updating, and need to suit what our seasons of life allow for... Well, that means I can always feel good about ANY type of forward motion.

What's something you're working on this summer?

Wanted to say thanks to all the teachers finishing

Wanted to say thanks to all the teachers finishing the year, and especially those who still have a month + 😳!

My Etsy shop is 30% off, now thru Monday! No code needed, just head to my link in bio to get there 💖

I wanted this store to really be some place for secondary teachers to find cute, nerdy, but not too elementary teacher shirts and stickers.

And if you ever want a specific saying or design made, I design it and ship you the item you always dreamed of for free! Just my little thanks for awesome ideas and letting me put it in my shop!

What have you always wanted to see on a shirt?!

What makes your classroom feel like yours? Not to

What makes your classroom feel like yours?

Not to sound cheesy, but I visited my new "home" today.

When I walked into my new school for next year and my new classroom I saw a whole wall dedicated to a painting of the solar system done to scale 🤯

The previous teacher wanted to paint over it but I am so glad she never got to!

Change is hard, but this mural felt like a solid sign that it was MEANT for me 💕...

Now I get to put my own mark in this room and I'd love to know your favorite space in yours! If you could, leave me a comment to let me know or tag me in a story!!!
