Hi everybody, I'm Kendra and this is the Lazy Genius Podcast. I'm here to help you

be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't.

This month we're focusing on routine. Those things we do most every day that help us get

stuff done feel like a person and not lose our minds. You're listening to the second episode in

this series, The Lazy Genius Evening routine. If you didn't listen to last week's episode, The

Lazy Genius Morning routine, I highly encourage you to stop this episode, download last weeks and

listen to it before you keep going. The basic reason is because I did a little unexpected preaching

on the power of routines and the traps they create if we're not careful and that little tangent

is actually a really foundation all to future episodes. So make sure you listen to The Lazy

Genius Morning routine at least the first five minutes. And I'd also love to suggest that you read

the blog post, the universal path to life giving routine. I'll put it in the show notes.

Today we're getting into the nuts and bolts of an evening routine, but that post contains

the tools on how we're going to get there. So it's an important thing for you to check out if you

are at all interested in really taking this routine thing to new places in your life. All that said,

today we're talking evening routines. We'll talk about why they matter, what they might look like

and how to create one and stick to it. But before we get started, I just have to tell y'all

that I have discovered the power of routines this week because I haven't been able to do them.

It was spring break and we haven't been regular or routine about anything. I'm losing my mind

a little bit. All of that, every time. Did I have like a better milk land, a cleaner house?

Did I get more work done? No, no. And I'm currently recording this literally hours before

you're listening to it on my stomach, on my bed, because there's nowhere else in my house to go. So no,

I don't always live by routines. I sound like that beer commercial guy. I don't always drink whatever.
