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 313, 10 questions for the start of the summer.

So once May hits, I think it already, it kind of feels like August is right around the corner, because time is weird, right?

Everyone likely feels the urgency of the season in different ways. You could be excited to have a break, right? You don't want to miss it, you don't want to miss the summer.

You have kids and they're home either from regular school or maybe even college, and so there's like excitement, but maybe like a little bit of urgency there too.

You might have a job. A lot of us still have those in the summer, and you're figuring out how to keep doing that job when everything else around you seems to shift.

You might live in a place that gets really, really hot, and you're kind of dreading the management of that, and about 17,000 other things.

Likely, all at once.

So instead of drowning in the overwhelm of this giant approaching season, let's make it smaller.

By asking a handful of questions, we're just one. One question. Could adjust your thinking in a really helpful way.

And don't forget that we will include all 10 questions in the next latest lazy listens email.

So if you would rather not take notes right now and you just want to answer one or two that stand out, that email will go out next Friday and we'll have all the questions included for you.

There is a link to sign up in the show notes, or you could go to the lazygenyscollective.com slash listens to get that email.

It's like a robust recap of a couple of weeks of podcast episodes and extras and all that. It's a great email.

Okay, let's jump in with our questions. First question for the start of the summer.

What are you most excited about? This could be anything. An experience, a trip, having space in your schedule, a person you get to see, a tradition, just the general vibe of summer itself.

But name what you're most excited about saying it will help you prioritize it. Unfortunately, we tend to assume that because something matters, it'll automatically happen.

And sometimes that's true, but not always. And what we want to avoid here is getting deep into the summer without having done the thing you're most excited about.

Naming it helps you prioritize it. It tells you, oh, I am so excited about this thing. I need to make sure it happens.

And also, I'm going to look forward to this thing and enjoy the anticipation of it because I'm so excited. It's kind of like an anchor.

If you prioritize the thing you're most excited about, your season is going to feel more rooted in what matters because it is.

And speaking of what matters, this question isn't quite as intense as when I forced you to ask what matters most and make you give just one answer. You know, enjoy doing that.
