Hey there you are 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 337. How to Lazy Genius, Division of Labor. I get asked about

this topic fairly often, especially in Instagram AMAs, and I am so glad that we get the chance to deep dive into this today.

So first, let me share who this episode is for.

We are going to talk about division of labor in a home.

And that mostly involves some kind of adult partner,

whether it's a spouse, a committed partner,

or even a roommate.

Most of what I'm going to have you think about

will involve another adult.

Now if you live alone or you're a single parent or you live with an aging parent who is no longer capable of contributing to the running of a home or any scenario where you live with someone but it's not

really a partnership of some kind. I don't want to say that this episode is not for you because

I think it actually can be. But you definitely need a different

set of approaches when you're the only person. There's a good chance that some of the things

I share in this episode they might be helpful to you, but I'm not going to gloss over the fact that this challenge

looks very different for single adults. So if that's you this topic might be kind of frustrating

because there is no division of labor you are all the labor

So as I begin this episode I just want you to know up front that I see you in that and if you would rather spend your time doing something else right now then

listen to this episode I am so here for that choice regardless I'm glad you're here

now some of you listening might not be single but feel a little bit like you are because

your partner does not participate in pretty much any of the physical and emotional labor of the

family and household, let alone a fair amount.
