0:00.0	Hi there, you are listening to the Lazy Genius Podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi and I'm here
0:05.6	to help you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't.
0:10.2	Today is episode 291, your path to an easier December. Today is December 5th and for many
0:17.3	of you listening, there are many, many, many, many things in front of you. Now if you don't
0:22.0	celebrate Christmas, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere where it's not winter right now
0:27.1	or any number of other differences, the hub of this month might not be quite the same,
0:31.5	but percentage wise, I think a lot of you are definitely feeling the anticipatory energy
0:36.4	of the next few weeks. So today, I want us to walk through the month of December and the potential
0:40.8	challenges you'll run into and give you some resources for those things. I'm almost envisioning

1:05.6	So in the spirit of candyland, we're going to sort of go in chronological order and look at what
1:12.0	you might be facing in kind of a particular way. All right, so another bit of benefit to this exercise
1:17.2	and the visual exercise of the game board is helping you think through your challenges in the
1:24.4	right order. Now, the order that I present today, it might not be the order that you personally have,
1:30.9	and that's totally fine, but the point is that you don't try to solve all your problems all at once.
1:39.1	You can go in order, not everything has to be tended to today. So this chronology will hopefully
1:46.4	also give you permission to embrace whatever chronology you need and tend to whatever needs
1:52.5	tending to now, now, right? It's kind of like the holiday version of our to-do list categorization,
2:00.4	now, soon later, and never mind, when things are undone and not categorized or scheduled or
