Hi there, you're listening 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 is episode 177, The Lazy Genius Plans a Day.

You might already be excited for this particular topic, so cool, welcome.

But if you need a little convincing that it's worth spending an entire podcast

of the day, remember that starting small matters, small moments matter, small choices matter.

The author, Chris Bejelian, wrote,

life is filled with small moments that feel prosaic until one has the distance to look back

and see the chain of large moments they unleashed.

There's just something really special about paying attention to our small moments

and intentionally making small choices, like how we plan a day, a single day.

Now as usual, I'm not going to give you my single day and tell you to copy it.

I'm not even going to tell you what should be included in your day.

This is not a one-size-fits-all situation. It rarely is.

We're going to quickly work through a lens that you can use to plan your day, any day and any circumstance.

It's incredibly simple and maybe even simplistic if you don't try it first,

but we often overcomplicate things before we even start thinking that if it's not some giant multi-step process

or it doesn't have charts or whatever that it can't possibly work.

No, the opposite is true. Small steps matter.

So we'll start small and stay focused on what matters to you about your day.

So the lazy genius way of planning your day involves, ready? Flags, chairs, and bunting.
