A couple of days ago, I asked folks on Instagram what one word they would use to describe their current relationship with routines. There were very few positive words, words that would indicate that routines are working. Here’s what we’re going to do for the next few minutes. We need to examine our expectations of routine, reframe what routines actually are, and then give you a next step or two to resurrect them.Helpful Companion LinksLeave a review on Apple Podcasts right here.Buy a copy of The Lazy Genius Way for yourself or a friend!Hear me and Erin Moon talk more about morning routines in a bonus episode from a few weeks ago.Other routine-themed LG resources you might find interesting: The Universal Path to Life-GIving Routine (blog post), Lazy Genius Morning Routine, Lazy Genius Evening Routine, Lazy Genius Cleaning Routine, and more.Get all the details about The Lazy Genius Way Book Club, which starts Thursday!Join me on Instagram @thelazygenius for everyday Lazy Genius content (it’s where I’m active the most!).Download a transcript of this episode.

#361 - Two Things That Make Friendship Easier

Is this maybe the most appropriately named pep talk of all time? Quite possibly. I have a feeling a lot of you always feel tired. In fact, like me, you feel tired so often that it’s annoying at this point. You’re tired of being tired. Will we ever not be tired?!
