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

After we answer all the office hours questions, we'll have a little extra something where I share

my favorite novel of the year so far. As always, we will celebrate the lazy genius of the week,

which is an incredible tip for keeping your chest freezer from turning into an abyss.
