Picture this: Sunday scaries have become a thing of the past.
Instead of the dread you used to feel waking up in the mornings trying to remember all the things on your plate, now, youāre pleasantly surprised how your organization and tact has made your job damn delightful.
HEREāS THE KICKERā¦
Before I implemented strategic systems in my classroomā¦
š I felt a constant overwhelming sense of dread that I assumed was just my anxiety disorder at work trying to make my life miserable.
š I felt annoyed at myself for not just being able to pull everything together like the perfect teacher.
š I felt like I was stuck in a cycle of perpetual wheel-reinventing, laboring away without the efficiency I desperately craved (who knew āworking smarterā was more than just a catchy phrase?).
š I tried every bit of advice, tool, and trick that other teachers gave me, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldnāt get them to work for ME.
Maybe like me, youāve felt lonely in your pursuit to find āthe perfectā organization system because nothing quite fits with your teaching style, your workload, your students, or your brain.
Hereās the thing, friend. Weāre all wired differently ā serving students with unique needs in class dynamics that change constantly from year to year, month to month, and letās be honest, sometimes even week to week. š¤·āāļø
IF SYSTEMS AND TOOLS ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY WORK FOR US, THEY NEED TO BEā¦
š
customized to the way we function as individuals
š
flexible to the needs of our students
š
tailored to our strengths
When I implemented systems and tools that supported the specific tasks and times of the day that triggered overwhelm and frustration, I felt distinctly different.
All of a sudden, I was able to:
ā Keep track of things that I wouldnāt have been able to remember in my wildest dreams.
ā Plan lessons more efficiently and effectively.
ā Prioritize my studentsā needs instead of flying by the seat of my pants.
My systems arenāt some magic tools or tricks.
(although theyāre pretty freaking awesome).
Today, I help teachers create customized systems and utilize flexible tech tools, so they can prioritize their mental health while making a difference in the classroom.
So if youāre ready to learn aboutā¦

customized to the way we function as individuals

Okay, so basically hereās my deal :
Iām wildly obsessed with tech tools that I can use to improve my mental health (Notion, youāre my true love š)
Iām a huge fan of TV shows - Schittās Creek, Ted Lasso, and New Girl are just a few of them. Btw - I keep track of all of them inside Notion, so I know what Iāve watched and what Iād recommend.
Iām a former middle and high school math teacher turned ed-tech program associate (one of my roles it to help run our project and email management software)
My goldendoodle, Zoey is my cute, sassy bff. Sheās my emotional support animal, and Iām her emotional support human. Youāll often hear me refer to her as the mascot of Technically Maggie.
I have a chronic illness, and much like a game of bingo, I never know which days are going to be my best. Systems are my secret weapon for navigating the unpredictable rollercoaster of life.
I have 8 plant babies. Their names are Alexis, David, Stevie, Twyla, Patrick, Moira, Jocelyn, Ronnie. Theyāre āSimply the Bestā!
Iām extremely organizedā¦ like my house looks like the container storeā¦because it has toā¦for my own sanity.
Iām an energetic introvert - one of my favorite spots in the world is the corner of my sectional couch.
