Hey there! Welcome to the Lazy Genius Podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi and I'm here to help

you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't.

Today, well today's episode we have all been waiting for, how to go back to school,

so in a regular year, it's an important question, like still, transitioning from summer to school

routine, it's a legitimate thing. But this year, I mean, well clearly we don't have a lot to

say about this year. So how do we go back to school when we don't even know what that looks like?

So our county, like where I live, still doesn't have answers, like as of recording this.

There are ideas and possibilities and scenarios, but nothing that's definite yet. So how in the

world do we plan for possibilities? How do you figure out what to do when the situation could change?

Plus, the way it'll be for the first half of the school year, it might not stick around for

the second half, it's just all so unknown and it's different for all of us depending on where you live.

And I feel it too, just because I have lazy genius principles and I like trying to come up with

systems and permission to help you in difficult situations, that does not mean this is easy.

No matter what you leave this episode with, no matter how helpful it is, hopefully this is still a

really hard situation. I think when things are challenging, we assume that solutions take the

challenge away and that's just not always the case. The harder the situation, the more we crave

solutions to solve the problem, right, to make it disappear. But that's just not reality.

So not to be an e-wear right out of the gate, but I think we all need to prepare ourselves for this

season being a difficult one. We will do our best to focus on what matters in our own lives

and maybe even create some systems to support it. But even when that's in place, be kind to yourself.

This is a hard season. It's normal for you to not know what to do next sometimes. It's normal

for you to feel overwhelmed. It's normal for you to want to throw out every system that you created
