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. Enjoy!
