0:00.0	Think about cheese. Make your thoughts cheesier. Now add 100% chicken breast fillet, Chipoplae sauce and amadea cheese melt, and it's giving the new cheesy chicken stack at McDonald's. Did we mention it's cheesy? Cheese. Availments with the 4th of Jan, 2026 from 11 a.m. Plus and participation may vary. Subjects availability. Hi there. You're listening to the Lazy Genius podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi. This show is not about
0:25.8	hacking the system to find more time or hacking your energy to get more done. Hustling to be the
0:31.2	best or to make the most out of every opportunity is exhausting and unsustainable. So here we do
0:36.7	things differently. On this show, we value
0:38.9	contentment, compassion, and living in our season. We favor small steps over big systems. Here we are

1:33.3	and will close with a mini pep talk for when someone does not meet your expectations.
1:38.6	Before we get into that, if you are starting this episode about last minute lists and you feel like
1:42.9	you're already behind because you don't
1:44.5	have a system for list making at all. Do I have a book for you? So this is an excellent time of the
1:50.7	year to revisit my third book, The New York Times bestseller, The Plan. You don't have to read
