Hello, so you might remember a guest I've had on the pod.

Her name is Kendra Adachi.

She's so bright and clever and on point about what matters and what doesn't.

Her philosophy on productivity has been super helpful for me and so many listeners. On her own podcast, which is called The Lazy Genius,

she recently shared practical helpful advice for all of us as we start to feel the stress

of the holidays coming at us. She talked about ways not just to survive a busy season,

but to actually enjoy it. If you heard Kendra here, or you've read her books, you know that she's

all about actionable, realistic advice, so this is no different. Stay right here, hear a little bit

more from Kendra. And if you like what you hear, head over to the

lazy genius podcast for the rest of the episode and all the lazy genius episodes wherever you get

your podcasts. Okay, here's Kendra. You know, October through December, sometimes feels like a really fun roller coaster, but you don't always feel like you have time to buckle your seatbelt.

This episode is going to help you not just survive a busy season, but really enjoy it.

And frankly, you can use these five steps anytime you're entering your own busy season, not just this fall holiday season that we are

about to enter. And if you're like Kendra, it is the middle of September. It's still 82 degrees

outside. Look, what are you talking about? If you're feeling that way, I get it. You don't actually

have to do this right now, if you would rather not. But if you tend to feel spread a little

too thin or more stressed than you would prefer during the

last three months of the year, laying the tiniest bit of groundwork now will really help your

upcoming busyness feel more alive rather than so draining. I'll share plenty of examples with

each of the steps, so hopefully

you'll be able to see your own process in it. It's also not a complicated process, even 15 minutes

spent thinking through these steps. It's going to make a huge impact on your busiest seasons.
