Hey 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 episode 477. What is and isn't working for me this summer?

the story. But hopefully you will leave with two simple ideas that can help you practically care

for your friends and family who are going through challenging times. As always, we will

celebrate the lazy genius of the week with a fun idea for how to use a road trip and will end with

a mini pep talk for when you don't want to cook another meal ever again. Before we do that, you have just four more days to fill out

our lazy genius survey. A riveting, I know. But it actually is, y'all are really, really smart

people and have led us to some big decisions over the last few years that have been positive for us. I genuinely want to make things
