Summary

I don’t like it when people make me feel like I need to be more, buy more, or accomplish more. I also don’t like feeling out of control or like I’m falling behind. I am SUCH a fan of Kendra’s concept: Be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t. Striving towards movement vs. racing to achievement is the perspective shift we are talking about today.

Kendra Adachi went to college to become a high school English teacher but instead became the Lazy Genius, passionately and candidly sharing how to stop doing it all for the sake of doing what matters. Her work includes hosting The Lazy Genius Podcast, cooking dinner on Instagram, and convincing her three young kids that talking on the phone is Mommy’s job. She and her husband love raising their family in the same North Carolina city they both grew up in.
WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:

the difficulty of launching a book in the middle of 2020
Kendra’s love for her whiteboard
card games she’s loving during the pandemic
Kendra’s life before she developed The Lazy Genius concept
doing things because of their importance to you, not someone else
simplifying your life by deciding once
accomplishing your long-term goals by thinking smaller
developing one new ridiculously new habit at a time
becoming comfortable with failure
Kendra’s new hobby
