152. Taming the Special Ed Paperwork Monster

That paper stack on your desk? It’s not your imagination—it really is multiplying.

In this spooky Halloween episode, I’m sharing how I handle the paperwork before it becomes overwhelming. From what I actually keep (and what I confidently toss) to the simple folder system that saves my sanity, you’ll learn how to tame the paper pile without needing to become a color-coded superhero. I’ll also walk you through the 5-minute daily routine I use to stop the clutter from building up again.

This isn’t about having the perfect system—it’s about making one that works for you. So whether you’re buried under IEP drafts or sticky notes scribbled with reminders, you’ll walk away with practical tips to feel just a little more on top of things. Press play and take the first step toward reclaiming your desk.
