0:00.0	Hi there. You're listening to The Lazy Genius Podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi. This podcast isn't about
0:06.3	hacking the system to find more time or hacking your energy to get more done. Hustling to be the best
0:13.0	or to make the most out of every opportunity is exhausting and unsustainable. So here we do things
0:19.1	differently. On this show, we value contentment,
0:21.9	compassion, and living in our season. We favor small steps over big systems. Here we are lazy
0:28.0	geniuses, being a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't.
0:33.5	And I am so glad that you are here. Today is episode 466, How to Declutter your week.
0:40.3	Is anyone else feeling it, feeling the busyness of life, the weight of your schedule,
0:46.6	the to-do list that never ends? This time of year is the start of what the internet lovingly
0:52.1	calls Maysember. It's December and May when everything
0:55.5	is happening. And the time management energy is a lot. I personally feel the crunch of it all. So it seems
1:01.9	like a great time to talk about decluttering your week, not your life, not your entire schedule,
1:08.3	not everything. Just one week. One week. You can do this one week
1:12.4	at a time or just this week for a breather and then stop. Regardless, the short process I'm going to
1:18.6	teach you is helpful anytime you want to use it. After that, and this week's a little extra
1:24.9	something, I'm going to share an update on my album project. I am wanting to
1:29.5	listen to 300 albums in 2026, but really the goal is less about the number and more about
1:34.8	intentionally listening to new music and full album form. I haven't shared anything about that
1:41.2	in a couple of months. At least here on the podcast, so I will give you a little update on how that's going, how many I've listened to, and what my
1:48.4	favorites are so far. As always, we will celebrate the lazy genius of the week, who has a great
1:53.9	idea for meal planning, something we always need, and we'll close with a mini pep talk for when you
1:59.3	can't catch a break.
