What everyone needs- even men

Love Kendra’s style of conveying a helpful honest big sister approach to not just time management but LIFE management. The chapter on the menstrual cycle was surprisingly very informative even as a 37 yr old woman who has had a period over 2 decades. Personally I didn’t understand how that could be so important in a book about managing time but made a ton of sense. Everyone even men should read this book (it is written for and towards women) as it would make life easier for everyone! So glad I listened to it AND have a physical copy to highlight and take notes in.

It's okay to pivot.

love it! not too serious and just light hearted take on this very serious topic.

Most political of Kendra’s content

I love Kendra Adachi. I love everything Lazy Genius, and I found this book helpful. I found myself skipping chunks where we got heavy into patriarchy and institutionalized oppression or some version of that. There’s definitely bits of those topics that are relevant and worth considering, but I’m sick to death of hearing those terms. I think those topics are deep and complicated, and rather than making it feel motivating and helpful in a book about planning, they felt like a weight dragging me down.

The simplicity of Adachi’s approach.

This is first and foremost a very sane approach for women. It’s goal is peaceful and joyful living, not Greatness. Finally!

Ok but for beginners

A large portion of this book covers how white male patriarchy is to blame for a woman’s poor planning skills, and our lack of access to a females perspective on it. Which…ok, this could make sense. I’m listening, But then it never ended up giving anything different than what those very same male-written books do. Only the metaphors are female oriented. I really expected a new light to be shed on it, from this perspective she was valiantly offering. So, overall it was underwhelming for me. For beginners. It’s a helpful read, and the voiceover was done very well, which was nice.

wish I was not forgot

I'm a sit and finish this but I did end up finishing it well I understand her viewpoint and where she's coming from with this I do wish she had not forgotten the other 35% of us that is not only male and cyst but also do not have the privileges to just leave it to the lazy genius wife

Such a helpful time management book!

This book provided so many practical tips on how to manage your time in a compassionate way. I really enjoyed listening to Kendra’s really solid advice about how to plan and pivot.

Looking at Time Management through the lens of being a woman = BRILLIANCE!!

Kendra has literally opened my eyes to looking at time management with such grace and from the “new” perspective of being a woman and I am SO grateful. I no longer have to feel guilty on the days I just can’t “get ‘er done”. I can simply be compassionate towards myself, my situation, my humans, and move forward “accessing kindness” to the best of my ability and trusting that there is goodness present. Thank you Kendra, this was brilliant!

productivity that focuses on women

The plan is a flexible way to think about productivity. it allows for changes in your season of life.

Planing for the season YOU are in

This book goes into how to plan. It’s a real upheaval of just list taking and scheduling. It goes into the why, the groundwork, then the steps on how to plan for you- meaning it’s adaptable and forgiving for whatever is happening. The Plan offers forgiveness for not being perfect, and keeps that in mind as the book goes on. I needing up reading along with a hard copy, and I found that the most helpful—- it’s certainly not needed, but worked for my adhd brain to stay focused.
