Hey there, you're listening to the Lazy Genius podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi. This show is not about

hacking your schedule 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. It is exhausting and unsustainable. So here we do

we are. We want to enjoy the season. We are reasonable people who know that there are a lot of

extra things that have to get done, but we still hit our limits. You know, we get overstimulated and

distracted and forget things. And when we remember them, we're like, oh, no, one more thing.

Like literally just now is I'm working on this episode about being maxed out, I remember

that amidst all the preparation that I did last weekend to get on top of everything that I

have to do, I forgot to include Christmas presents

for people. My kids are not getting presents this year because of these two huge trips that we're
