Hi 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 is exhausting and 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 am so glad you're here. Today is a bonus episode for you that I think will help you ease into the

summer. We like to release favorite reruns so you don't have to go digging for an episode

that would be really great to listen to right now. So today we are sharing episode 419,

you're like locking in stone for the next three months, right? But when you have something in place,

when you set that intention, when you plant some flags, you see your season for what it is,

it just helps you better than starting from scratch, right? It's easier to pivot from something that is there.

Like you can pivot a lot or a little. But when you have those pieces in place, you have a much

better chance of actually making what matters happen than if you're just like freewheel in all

summer and hope it does. Now you certainly can do that.

But if you want there to be a bit more intention about what you hope to do and what you have to do, hopefully this episode is going to be helpful. This is my favorite kind of planning,

kindly thinking about a season, naming a few things to help anchor it, and then doing what
