Time management can feel overwhelming—especially for moms! That's why I'm so excited to have Kendra Adachi, also known as The Lazy Genius, on the podcast today. We're talking about her latest book, The Plan, and how we can approach time management with grace, flexibility, and a mindset that actually works for moms.  Here are four key takeaways from this episode:  Many systems don't account for the unpredictability of parenting, so we need a different approach.  Embracing flexibility and realistic goals helps reduce stress and make time management sustainable.  Making tiny, intentional changes can create lasting rhythms that serve both you and your family.  Time management isn't just about productivity—it's about managing life in a way that allows you to be fully present with your family.  This episode is packed with practical wisdom and encouragement, and I hope it helps you find rhythms that bring peace and presence to your days.

This week on Office Ladies 6.0, Jenna and Angela share some exciting news about an upcoming movie they're both in! Afterwards, the ladies share one of their favorite new episodes from the “Lazy Genius” podcast titled “It's a New Year… Let's Name What's Working”. Lazy Genius Host Kendra Adachi says, “the beginning of the year or the beginning of anything often has us rethinking our routines and rhythms and systems and choices to see if there's anything we want to change. Before you start to put on your problem-solving glasses, utilizing that new year energy to make everything fresh and ready to begin, let's name what's working. I have three rules, three questions, and three categories to help you think this through.” Helpful Companion Links Order Kendra's new book The PLAN or ask your library to consider carrying a copy.

As many of you know, following one organizer will bring you to another. In fact, that's how some of you ended up in my community. So many of you reached out suggesting Kendra Adachi with The Lazy Genius podcast for an interview for the Monday Connections episodes. Thank you so much for the recommendation and we had an insightful conversation.   Lazy Genius Kendra Adachi was a perfectionist to the extreme. She was teacher's pet, valedictorian, and voted most dependable by her peers. In 2015, she started a lifestyle blog. The podcast, The Lazy Genius, followed not even a full year later. She teaches women to “Be a genius about the things that matter, and and lazy about the things that don't.” Once she became a parent she learned that rule. She was so used to doing everything perfectly but once her second child came along she realized you can't be perfect at everything. And that's how she got to pointing out to women how to find a happy medium between Boss Babe and Hot Mess.  We agreed how nice it is to come on an episode with an idea and through the recording think out loud. Inevitably we end up with feedback from the community that results in solutions or next steps. When I asked her if she worries about running out of episode topics. She replied with the fact that the perspective on laundry changes with your lifestyle. For example, she may be talking about endless stained laundry from toddlers and grow to sharing about how she is teaching her teenagers how to do laundry. We commented on the value our listeners get from hearing how a female is doing things. Kendra shared that 93% of time management books are from male authors. It's time for women to learn from each other.  And Kendra shared about “Big Black Trash Bag Energy”. You know when you're just over it and so you get out the big trash bag with the internet to toss everything and just start over? No need. Just start small. Work on one thing.    Women Have Always Ran the World Kendra shared the point of view that maybe there's a stigma to the importance of the female role and how much men value what women do. And I agreed through the lens that  women have always ran the world but now that women are in the workforce, it's coming to light how much women are really doing. And sorry guys, it's more than you. Men get to watch a football game but women feel like they need to be productive making the meal plan or planning car pool while watching that same football game. We have been the CEO's of the households but now all that invisible work is being identified. We have these never ending tasks that replenish themselves and leads to weary spirits. Planning is essential for women to manage the household and take care of everyone. Kendra pointed out you are inherently a preparer, an adjuster, or a notice-er. And then we talked about the mindsets and lifestyles of being 30, 40, and in your 50's. And the two scenarios determine how you got about what you gotta get done. You Only Know What You Know I find it so difficult to find other women CEO's to learn from. We joked those women are too busy to sit down to write a book or record a podcast. My hope is for all women in the 20's and 30's to find a community to show them systems on how to be a household manager. You get a new job, you get training. You buy your first house and you're responsible for the payments but no guidelines on how to care for it. Up to you to hopefully stumble across the Household Operations Binder. Don't get intimidated by the CEO role. It's not meant to be this manly corporate role. You only know what you have been taught. Women need to be in community with each other, doing life together. We are the experts in this role!  EPISODE RESOURCES: Sunday Basket® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter Did you enjoy this episode?

Live in your season is one of the thirteen Lazy Genius principles I write about in my first book, The Lazy Genius Way, and fun fact: it was the hardest chapter to write. Even though I talk about contentment in that chapter, a theme we now cover quite often, I was still hanging on to the greatness train by my fingertips. In this episode, I'm going to share a few highlights about what it means to live in your season since we can always use a reminder, and I'm going to share how that personally looks in my own life years after releasing that first book.

Just in case you missed the announcement last week, Amy Weatherly is co-hosting MESSmerized with me this month, and gosh, she's so much fun. Today, we're continuing our commitment to un-resolutions by chatting with the amazing Kendra Adachi about time management.   This conversation is absolutely not what you think it's going to be because Kendra is flipping time management on its head. Apparently, we've been doing it all wrong—who knew? She talks about creating systems that actually make sense for women. This includes recognizing the beauty of both proactive and reactive time management—basically, having a plan but also being cool with the fact that life is messy and plans sometimes (okay, often) fall apart.   What really struck me, though, was our chat about self-compassion. Why are we so hard on ourselves? We talked about living in the moment, starting small, and letting go of this pressure to do everything perfectly. Spoiler: you don't have to color-code your planner to be a successful human.   So, if you're like me—juggling a million things, tired of feeling like you're never doing enough, and low-key fantasizing about running away to a quiet cabin somewhere—this episode is for you. Let's ditch the guilt, embrace the chaos, and redefine what success looks like for us.     All things Cynthia Yanof  The Plan: Manage Your Time Like a Lazy Genius by Kendra Adachi   The Lazy Genius Podcast Amy Weatherly's books: I'll Be There and Here for It  Follow Amy on Facebook at Sister I am With You and @Amy Weatherly

As a mom do you feel there is not enough time in the day? Are you constantly overwhelmed with your to-do list and mental load? Are you snapping at your kids because they cannot keep up with the pace?  Today Kendra Adachi; the Lazy Genius, author, podcaster, and most of all mom, is here to help us focus on the most important tasks. Kendra and I are opposites, she has read all the time management books whereas I have read zero. Only 7% of books in this arena are written by women so her newest book, The PLAN, was much needed in this space. Most productivity books are written with the future in mind and while it's good to think and plan for the future Kendra tells us that most moms are trying to run their household well every day in the small task. She helps us PLAN- prepare, live, adjust, and notice what is going on around us in our homes.  This episode reminds us that being kind to our kids is more important than being on task, we are not robots, and helps us look at time differently which allows us to show up with compassion for others. There is so much Biblical truth when we structure our time well and keep the most important things at the center of our days.  Connect with Kendra Adachi:  Website:  The Lazy Genius (thelazygeniuscollective.com) Facebook: The Lazy Genius Collective Instagram:  Kendra Adachi (@thelazygenius) Links Mentioned:   “Make it Happen” Notepad Heather mentioned Do Less: by Kate Northrup The PLAN: by Kendra J.

Everyone has calendars to logistic (I know that's not right, but I like it), and for certain people, seasons, families, those logistics feel like they're going to eat you alive. Right now, my Google calendar has so many blocks in it, some of which overlap and I haven't quite figured out how to reconcile those overlaps yet. It's a whole thing, and maybe your calendar looks or at least feels like that. So let's talk about how to do this like a Lazy Genius. How can you manage calendar logistics in a reasonably efficient, intentionally kind way?  Helpful Companion Links Pre-order my new book The PLAN or ask your library to consider carrying a copy once it releases in October.

It's a brand new season of the show and we are thrilled to have Amy Hardin, Jen's longtime friend, join us on the podcast for a whole new adventure in laughing at ourselves and learning from our incredible guests.  The Lazy Genius herself, Kendra Adachi, joins Jen and Amy today to challenge our culture's obsession with productivity and time management. Kendra offers a revolutionary perspective: the problem isn't you — it's the capitalistic, patriarchal culture we've all been raised in. Kendra unpacks why traditional productivity advice often fails women and shares a more compassionate approach for managing busy lives.  Whether you're drowning in laundry, juggling work and family, or simply craving a kinder way to approach your days, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and equipped with practical strategies. Discover how to: Shift your mindset from pursuing 'greatness' to embracing contentment Take small, sustainable steps instead of attempting drastic overhauls Adapt your systems to fit your unique life and needs Find freedom from rigid to-do lists and unrealistic expectations Don't miss Kendra's sneak peek into her upcoming book 'The Plan' - it just might change your life! * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: "I thought I just had to try harder or give up. And those are not the only two options, everybody. There's a wide middle between ‘try hard' and ‘give up.' And so that's when I pivoted my online writing to this space to the Lazy Genius Ecosystem, as you called it, which is, 'let's be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. And everyone gets to choose what those things are.'" - Kendra Adachi "I think that we forget that the paradigm that we all live under in a Western, capitalistic, patriarchal society is not one that supports what I'm talking about in many ways. And so, it's hard to do. It's very, very hard because the waters that we live in really do not support this kind of idea. So the problem is not you is what I'm saying. The problem is not you." - Kendra Adachi "Your to-do list is not the boss of you. It's a tool." - Kendra Adachi “93% of time management productivity books are written by men.” - Kendra Adachi Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Feed These People by Jen Hatmaker - https://shop.jenhatmaker.com/products/ftp-book The Lazy Genius Podcast - https://bit.ly/4drs4WB The Lazy Genius Way - https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/way For the Love Podcast ft.
