Hey there, you're listening to the Lazy Genius Podcast. I am 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 264. What should be in your bag? Or what do you want to take with you

every day so that you feel prepared for wherever you're going? It's such a simple daily

thing, but super important because most of us leave our homes fairly often and sometimes

need different things based on where we're going. I'm guessing that whatever is in your

bag is just in your bag, right? Because we, like who has time to think about what's in

their bag? And to clean it out and pack it differently and like whatever you think

needs to go in your bag. So today, let's lazy genius your bag and figure out how you can

leave your home each day with the things that you need. Today we're going to go in the right

order when it comes to our bags. Go in the right order is a lazy genius principle.

One of the 13 that I explain in my first book, the lazy genius way. The right order for

many, many things has three parts. First, name what matters. Second, calm the crazy.

And third, trust yourself with what comes next based on what you need and what you think

could work. So your first step in figuring out what should be in your bag is to name what

matters. I think that there are three general categories of people when it comes to bags.

This is just for my own brain, you guys, like there are other things, but this is the

idea. First, I think there are people who look at bags as accessories to an outfit.

Like what matters most about your chosen bag is that it looks good with what you're wearing

or makes you feel good as you carry it. Second, I think there are people who look at bags

as an essential tool. What matters most about your chosen bag is that it has what you

need and is always ready to go. And third, there are people who look at bags as a tool box.
