Today, I’m going to share four things to keep in mind when life feels like a fire hose (one is super duper practical, promise!).

This is our quarterly episode where I take your problems and try and Lazy Genius them! Today, as always for these episodes, I’ll put the questions focused on kids and parenting at the end in one chunk so that those of you without kids don’t have to listen if you’d rather move along with your day.

Y’all know I love helping us deal with our to-do lists. Life is full of things to do, and sometimes we feel buried in all that wants our attention. So today’s episode is a short and sweet look at one simple strategy that might make a ton of difference for you.

No matter your level of extroversion or introversion, your age, your life stage, or any other factor, we all need friends. I tend to focus on more concrete things on the show, but I think that one of the reasons we struggle to find and maintain meaningful relationships is partly a logistical one.

Is this maybe the most appropriately named pep talk of all time? Quite possibly. I have a feeling a lot of you always feel tired. In fact, like me, you feel tired so often that it’s annoying at this point. You’re tired of being tired. Will we ever not be tired?!  I think we all need some solidarity in this space as well as some practical help. My goal is for you to get both.

While this episode is definitely seven routines that work for me, the reason I’m sharing them is not so that you will do them because they’ll work. It’s more to see how I arrived at certain routines, what priorities they support, and maybe they’ll inspire a small change or adjustment in your own routine that could make your life work better for you and the season you’re in

We all have places we need to go, and we want to kindly and efficiently get there. That looks different for everyone though.

One of the most foundational principles of managing your time like a Lazy Genius is to think about your season. We all need tangible help with planning. That’s why I wrote a book called The PLAN. But since it doesn’t come out until October and we need to plan some stuff now, let’s plan our spring together.

This is a beloved quarterly episode where I share the things in my life that are saving it. It could be products that bring joy or efficiency, moments that make me feel like myself, things I’m looking forward to… the list is varied every time.

This feeling hits all of us at some point. Today, I’m going to offer you a process to help you get past the feeling of being bored with something in your life.

Here’s a bonus follow-up episode to last month’s Office Hours with the Office Ladies.

Office Hours episodes happen once a quarter, and in them, I help you Lazy Genius your life! I take questions from Instagram and answer them here on the podcast, helping you see how to use the 13 Lazy Genius principles, the five-step Lazy Genius method, and any other Lazy Geniusisms that might help make your situation a little easier.

This episode is simply a path for you to follow if not finishing a project is getting on your nerves enough to change it, if it’s affecting your quality of life.

This very special episode celebrates The Lazy Genius Podcast being the first show to join the Office Ladies Network!

You can Lazy Genius your whole life, but you can’t do it all at once.

We need a fresh take on January energy, y’all. We need some new words when we feel the compulsion to start over.

It’s the smackdab middle of January, and we all know about the January Feelings. Since many of those feelings tend to be big and expansive and beyond, I want to bring us in today. I want us to think about small things, small changes, small steps that can have a big impact.

I’m no stranger to self-help books. Most of them have left me wanting, leaving me feeling like I’ve been given more to do. But when I read Atomic Habits by James Clear in early 2019, I remember thinking it was the best self-help book I had ever read. It’s no surprise that it’s sold 15 million copies since it debuted. And I’m delighted to have James on the show today to talk about habits and how we can approach them as Lazy Geniuses.Helpful Companion LinksAtomic Habits by James Clear...

Over the years of this podcast, we’ve simply been tweaking the order of how we live, starting with who we are today, not who we wish to be in the future. That’s why on this first day of the year, I don’t want to talk about goals and habits and starting a new year. All three of those things are actually quite valuable and a normal part of our lives, and we’ll even talk about some of them over the next few weeks. Today, however, I want to start somewhere else. I want us to start with what...

Yearly recaps are the most fun, aren’t they? I love seeing people’s reading lists and favorite things and all of the end of year reflections that happen. I hope you’re taking some time to make some kind of list of your own.

Today, we're doing something a little different. Kelly Corrigan, host of PBS's Tell Me More and the podcast Kelly Corrigan Wonders, is here to pull back the veil on some of the things that make me tick. We're talking about the real heart behind the Lazy Genius and how it can help you combat some of the end-of-the-year energy, plus what celebrity I'd be friends with and what live performance changed both of our lives.

December is a unique month, and therefore, you need to approach that month and your long to-do list in a way that feels kind and human and grounded and like yourself. But also where you get it all done, at least all the things that matter. I share this episode with Kind Big Sister Energy, meaning I think this works, and I think it could work for you, but as with anything I ever say, do what works for you. If this doesn’t, don’t do it.
