When we reflect on things from the past that have meant something to us, it’s good for us. It’s fun! And since books are fairly universal as a thing people love, I’m sharing my 10 most memorable books.

I did not anticipate recording this episode, but after this week’s Office Hours episode where I answered your questions, I realized that this particular question needed a mini episode all its own.

This is the time of year when we start hearing a lot of buzz about transitioning to fall. If transitioning to fall is all the buzz, a morning routine is for sure the buzzword.

One of the most common questions I get is how to Lazy Genius some kind of big change. A new city, job, kid, or relationship. Leaving a career, a friend group, or a religion. Losing a spouse, parent, or the connection with your kid now that they’re a teenager. The reason I’ve never done an episode like this and why it’s hard to answer questions about big changes in DMs and emails is because there’s not a simple answer. So here’s what we’re going to do today. First, I’m going to share four principles of a big change that I want you to remember. Second, I’m going to give you two questions to help you create some understanding around your big change. And third, I’m going to give you two choices you could make after you answer those questions.Helpful Companion LinksEpisode #259: 5 Steps to Lazy Genius AnythingSign up for the Latest Lazy Listens email.Grab a copy of my book The Lazy Genius Kitchen or The Lazy Genius Way!

What do you do with those little pockets of time between appointments or meetings or pickups and dropoffs?

Free time is time that is free of responsibilities, obligations, and being beholden to someone else’s needs, wants, or whims. If that’s the case, free time sounds absolutely lovely. But free time, for women especially, comes with a slew of problems, namely guilt in having it and fear of wasting it.

I just had to chime in here and share my thoughts on "The Lazy Genius Podcast." I've been an avid listener for quite some time now, and I must say, it's an absolute gem in the sea of podcasts out there. https://hubpages.com/@deli-paper Kendra's approach to embracing both laziness and genius in our lives is refreshingly unique. It's like she's giving us permission to take a step back, simplify things, and still achieve greatness. Her tips on efficient routines, clever life hacks, and the art of making seemingly complex tasks more manageable have been a game-changer for me. https://www.behance.net/deli-paper-pros

I love to have a zero inbox and so one of my things is delete what needs to be deleted, or respond to the things that can be responded and then delete that or I move it to a "to-do" folder which are messages that need to be handled or have been put on the other person to respond but do not need to be in my inbox any longer. I then review that folder a couple times a week for what needs attention or be deleted if it's been done.

THIS was the piece I needed, after (mind blown) reading The Lazy Genius Way. Thank you. Is there anywhere you post the full process of Lazy Genius-ing people's problems, to help us layfolks out here get a better idea of the scope and how the principles are applied?

New listener, 6 years late! At 14:58, you said Nick Flora was the first person you’re interviewing for the podcast - I’m just curious if this was recorded before the first episode that you had your best friend on? Or is it a matter of format, or that she was a close friend and Nick isn’t? (I can’t help noticing the discrepancy.)

I've had a similar experience picking up a car internationally, so my genius husband bought me a charging block that I always travel with to prevent not being able to charge my phone, so calamity averted. also when traveling internationally you need to know how to change the settings on the car's GPS (if you are fortunate to get) so you can understand the language. lastly, for international travel, Google translate is your best friend! love your ideas and tips! BTW my daughter lives in Winston-Salem as well.

once a year I take out all of the clothes that are to the left of a yellow neon hanger. I move the hanger then to the right of all of my clothes that are still in my closet As I wash and wear things throughout the year they end up on the right side of the hanger. I know at the end of that year I have gone through holidays celebrations seasons and everything and if I have not worn something in a year it gets donated to a friend. if something is worn but not dirty enough to put in the laundry basket I hang it on a hanger and then put the hanger in my closet backwards so I know the next time I take it out that it needs to go in the laundry.

first of all, I love you! Your book is "saving my life right now". I just need to tell you that Thai food does not in fact involve peanuts. Americanized Thai food does, but not authentic Thai food. My husband is 1/2 Thai and this is how I know. 😁
