#251: The Lazy Genius Way with Kendra Adachi


Listen Later

I don’t like it when people make me feel like I need to be more, buy more, or accomplish more. I also don’t like feeling out of control or like I’m falling behind. I am SUCH a fan of Kendra’s concept: Be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t. Striving towards movement vs. racing to achievement is the perspective shift we are talking about today.

Kendra Adachi went to college to become a high school English teacher but instead became the Lazy Genius, passionately and candidly sharing how to stop doing it all for the sake of doing what matters. Her work includes hosting The Lazy Genius Podcast, cooking dinner on  Instagram, and convincing her three young kids that talking on the phone is Mommy’s job. She and her husband love raising their family in the same North Carolina city they both grew up in.
WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:

  • the difficulty of launching a book in the middle of 2020
  • Kendra’s love for her whiteboard
  • card games she’s loving during the pandemic
  • Kendra’s life before she developed The Lazy Genius concept
  • doing things because of their importance to you, not someone else
  • simplifying your life by deciding once
  • accomplishing your long-term goals by thinking smaller
  • developing one new ridiculously new habit at a time
  • becoming comfortable with failure
  • Kendra’s new hobby
