0:00.0	Hey there, you're listening to the Lazy Genius podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi, and I'm here to help you be a
0:06.5	genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. Today is episode 420,
0:12.9	how to plan a day that has no plan. Welcome to summer, the time of year, often filled with days that have
0:19.8	no plans. Let's quickly define what I mean
0:22.7	by a day that has no plan and why you might want to plan at all. I bet you already know what to do
0:29.1	with a day that has no plans when that is exactly what you want. If you have a day with no plans
0:36.8	and you want it to stay that way, it will. You do not need
0:39.9	help for me. You will be so happy just laying around and responding to whatever comes.
0:45.7	To me, days on the beach are like this. Like you go to the beach, you set up your umbrella and your
0:50.3	towel, and then you just like enjoy it. You know, you're not, you're not thinking like,
0:54.9	okay, at 11, we're going to go for a walk, and then we'll come back by 1215 for sandwiches in the
0:58.6	cooler, and then it'll be time for beach volleyball, and then we're going to do a seashell gathering,
1:02.5	and then a sunset photo before we're into the place that we have dinner reservations.
1:06.3	Now, maybe that is how some of you go to the beach or how some of you might go to the beach with other
1:12.3	people. Like that's how they handle the beach. But like it doesn't matter. You get my point.
1:17.1	For the most part, when we go to the beach or maybe like a time away that's similar to that in
1:22.9	vibe, we have very few plans. And we love that. We love that that we're just where we are doing things in the
1:31.2	moment deciding that like you know i'd like to go for a walk right now and does anyone want to come
1:36.0	you know it's just a different energy those days where there is no plan are lovely days and i don't
1:43.1	think you need help with that. Keep the day planless.
1:46.3	That's beautiful. What I am talking about in this episode is different. It is a day where there is no
1:51.6	plan and you would really like there to be. Again, summer feels like it is full of those days.
