In this episode, we hear from Kendra Adachi, the bestselling author of The Lazy Genius Way to discuss compassionate time management. Kendra shares her journey from perfectionism to finding balance, introducing her transformative framework: "Be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t."  We explore actionable strategies for prioritizing what truly matters, embracing small steps, and showing kindness to ourselves in every season of life.

Key Highlights:

  • The Origin: Kendra explains how her journey as an overachiever and mother led her to create the framework of focusing on what matters most in each season of life.
  • The Myth of Productivity: A candid discussion on the male-dominated productivity industry and why traditional time management systems often fail women.
  • Naming What Matters: Learn practical steps for identifying priorities by narrowing your scope—whether it’s a life category, season, or even just a single day.
  • Compassionate Time Management: Discover how to align expectations with the energy you have, rather than striving for unattainable ideals.
