Kendra Adachi's Framework for a Kinder, Flexible Approach to Rethinking Productivity

Kendra Adachi's Framework for a Kinder, Flexible Approach to Rethinking Productivity

This week I welcome back Kendra Adachi to the show to talk about her new book The PLAN: Manage Your Time Like a Lazy Genius. Kendra Adachi is one part systems expert, and one part permission giver. As The Lazy Genius, she aims to help you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. She is the host of The Lazy Genius Podcast, author of The Lazy Genius Way.

In this conversation we talk about:

  • The Plan Framework: Kendra introduces her innovative framework: Prepare, Live, Adjust, and Notice. It’s a holistic approach to living authentically in the current season, without the stress of rigid future goals.
  • Flexibility over Rigid Plans: Emphasizing the importance of flexibility, Kendra discusses the significance of being able to pivot and adjust plans without guilt, accepting life's unpredictability as part of the journey.
  • Small Tasks, Big Impact: Highlighting the "lazy genius principle," Kendra encourages starting small and focusing on manageable tasks, integrating kindness and patience into your planning process for a more fulfilling life.
