| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:11.5 | Today is episode 226. How batching and bags can get you out the door. |
| 0:16.5 | Alright, so a couple of weeks ago I did an episode on getting off the door. |
| 0:20.5 | And in gathering up inspiration for that episode, I asked you on Instagram at the Lazy Genius what your biggest struggle was. |
| 0:28.0 | And the answers fit into just a handful of categories but they were so broad and specific that we've actually been breaking down those categories into separate episodes. |
| 0:38.0 | So episode 223 is about getting off the door but it's focused on expectations and timing. Those are the biggies, right? |
| 0:46.0 | In episode 224 we talked about when things don't go according to plan. Like when you are walking up the door and a kid has to poop. |
| 0:53.0 | So many responses about people pooping and then last week in episode 225 we talked all about shoes. |
| 1:00.0 | In particular figuring out how to get your kids to find and wear them. |
| 1:05.0 | The final category of what's challenging about getting out the door is forgetting something or maybe having everything but like feeling like you're forgetting something. |
| 1:15.0 | So essentially our final category is stuff. |
| 1:19.0 | How do we remember all the stuff, bring all the stuff, help our kids remember all their stuff. |
| 1:24.0 | And then honestly I think this isn't just about getting out the door for a regular day. |
| 1:28.0 | Anytime we leave our homes, we likely are bringing stuff with us. |
| 1:32.0 | So having a strategy for that stuff, it can be helpful whether you're going to the grocery store or on vacation. |
| 1:38.0 | This episode is of course inspired by your answers, as I said. |
| 1:42.0 | But it was really given wings by our honorary lazy genius of the week, which I will share here in the beginning instead of at the end. |
| 1:51.0 | Courtney Cleveland. |
| 1:53.0 | Courtney Cleveland is my personal travel guru. |
| 1:55.0 | She's on Instagram at all the best days. |
| 1:58.0 | All of her links and all that will put those in the show notes. |
| 2:01.0 | But Courtney's mission is to help you have your best day wherever you are. |
