Hey there, you're listening to the Lazy Genius podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi. This podcast is not about hacking the system to find more time or hacking your energy to get more done.

Hustling to be the best or to make the most out of every opportunity. It is exhausting and it is unsustainable.

So here we do things differently. On this show, we value contentment,

compassion and living in our season. We favor small steps over big systems. Here we are lazy

geniuses, being a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't.

And I'm so glad you're here. Today is episode 443, What's Saving My Life. It is time to

welcome back our old friend who we get to hang out with every season. These episodes where I

share what saving my life have become such a gift to me personally, and I know to you all too.

The practice of naming and sharing what is making life full and good and connected is

surprisingly integral. And I'm glad this is part of our rhythm here on the show. So today I've

got 10 things that I will share that have been saving my life recently and hopefully it will

inspire you to make your own list. After that, we will have a little extra something in the form of a mailbag

segment. So in a recent newsletter, I shared how I spend my days, kind of like a day in the life

situation. And I got a question about my work rhythms and how they came to be. Essentially, I now work about three to five hours a day,

three to four days a week. And that's some wild math for like a successful small business.

So I will give you some insight into what choices I've made over the almost 10 years of this

business that have led to that ability. If you are a small business owner, maybe you'll find some

permission in my story. And if you're not a business owner, I hope you'll at least enjoy some

behind the scenes nuggets, but also recognize the beauty in doing less. After that, we'll end with a

mini pep talk for when it feels like nothing is saving your life. Now, where is the lazy genius of the week?

You might be asking. Well, we are going to start with it today because it is someone you might know.

Our lazy genius of the week this week is Jamie Golden from the pop cast with Knox and Jamie.
