I’ve heard about his book for a few years, listened to the author guest on shows and listened to a couple of her podcasts. I decided to take a look even though I don’t think it applies to my “season” of life. After reading it and now reading her next book, I told my daughter…we could have written this! Except of course we couldn’t. We are not talented writers with a sense of humor and a dynamic way of organizing all the tips for living that Adachi has done. Thank you Kendra for your skills. So I can’t say I “learned new things…having lived a life, I had discovered most of her tips through the school of hard knocks and gradually handed them over to my daughter to add to her stash of ways to make life easier. I am thankful that Adachi took the time and the talent to turn these into a readable text that was lighthearted, but seriously helpful. I was surprised that she chose to bring her belief system into one of the chapters, but she left it there---not preachy. It is pretty focused on families with children. I think this book would make a great gift for a baby shower. There is definitely an audience for a book like this, but unfortunately that audience is not me. A lot of these tips assume that you are an overscheduled, slightly neurotic suburban mom who is choosing to be that way (versus that way because of outside factors like multiple jobs, special needs kids, or balancing work and school). If you don't see yourself in at least the first half of that description I don't think this book is going to speak to you. I'm disappointed I didn't like this more because I really like Kendra's Instagram presence and the handful of podcasts I've listened to, but most of the examples in this book felt either irrelevant or really, really obvious to me. That said, if you do see yourself in the description of her target audience, I suspect this might be right up your alley. This book came so highly rated (on good reads). Kendra comes off as amateur in a good way. The footnotes in the book are not citing some fancy double blind studies. It's just a woman speaking from her heart giving the best advice she has. I'll remember this book for "batching" your tasks (or sub-tasks) for more efficiency. And also for inviting people over even your cooking or cleaning skills are not instagram-worthy. You're worthy any way. And also, kinda woke me up that I'm really bad at resting. I think I’ve lived most of my life as a Lazy Genius, but I never knew what that term until this week. This book’s focus on pouring energy into the things that matter to you and letting go of the rest was profound to me. I particularly loved the suggestions to make fixed decisions wherever you can and to take small steps towards your goal instead of staying big and failing. Also the Magic Question: What can I do now to make life easier later? “Tend to the necessary before it becomes urgent.” Take Aways: - One yoga pose a day - One minute of deep breaths on the front porch - Crockpot Mondays - Fixed Gifts - Outfit Uniform geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â?˘ Being a Lazy Genius isn't about doing more or doing less. Itâ??s about doing what matters to you. â??I could not be more excited about this book.â?ťâ??Jenna Fischer, actor and cohost of the Office Ladies podcast The chorus of â??shouldsâ?ť is loud. You should enjoy the moment, dream big, have it all, get up before the sun, track your water consumption, go on date nights, and be the best. Or maybe you should ignore what people think, live on dry shampoo, be a negligent PTA mom, have a dirty house, and claim your hot mess like a badge of honor. Itâ??s so easy to feel overwhelmed by the mixed messages of what it means to live well. Kendra Adachi, the creator of the Lazy Genius movement, invites you to live well by your own definition and equips you to be a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesnâ??t. Everything from your morning routine to napping without guilt falls into place with Kendraâ??s thirteen Lazy Genius principles, including: â?˘ Decide once â?˘ Start small â?˘ Ask the Magic Question â?˘ Go in the right order â?˘ Schedule rest Discover a better way to approach your relationships, work, and piles of mail.

As always with self-help, you take what you like and leave the rest. This book had a little more Christian stuff than I expected, but that’s part of the author’s genuine experience and it wasn’t hard to set aside. I am a new mom, so I appreciated the case studies about parenting, but non-parents would likely not find it as relevant.
It was a quick and easy read with digestible sections and small action steps in each chapter. I definitely recommend this if you’re a self-help fan or are looking for a little reset. ( )
