ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Want a more organized teaching life without overcomplicating things?

Spoiler: The best tools are often the simplest.

In this episode, I'm sharing four tools that have become mainstays in my ELT life. They're simple, they work, and some I've been using for over a decade.

  • A tiered file sorter for class materials

  • A desk caddy for supplies

  • Google Calendar for time-sensitive tasks

  • Trello for organizing digital resources

The common thread: They keep me organized so I can focus on teaching.

Are any of these on your essential tools list too?
