The Lazy Genius Podcast

Protein, strength, body recomposition, weighted vests, magnesium, the new darling of the food world: cottage cheese… all of these things are everywhere. It feels like every other post I see on Instagram is about women’s health.
I think that physically caring for ourselves is a fairly universal hope, especially for women. But we’re still figuring out how to do that with wisdom and reason. Luckily, you can Lazy Genius anything, including this, so let’s do it.

Life admin is a bear. There’s healthcare, insurance, home care, auto care, childcare, finances and budgeting and investing, taxes, schedules, legal stuff. And it does not include regular daily things like meals and chores and doing your job and taking a shower and going to sleep. I’m already sweating.
This stuff feels so huge, sometimes unbearably so. Here are 10 essential rules for life admin (and they’re probably not the rules you’re expecting).

Last week, we decided what we’re done with, and this week we’re going to add instead of subtract. By the end of this episode, I want you to have identified one pleasurable thing that you enjoy and have a plan to add it to your life. One is better than zero, and six will lead to zero because it’s too big. So we’re going to start with one, and I’m really excited about it.

Y’all, I always struggle this time of year. The two weeks before school starts have historically left me feeling stressed, anxious, and ready for some simplicity. The simplicity does come (sort of) with the start of the school year and a normal routine, but all of the scurrying and extras can wear a person down.
Today, I want to share a way to think about your time commitments and responsibilities through a Lazy Genius lens so that you can decide what you’re done with and remove that thing so that you can leave space for what matters more.

Because who actually knows how to parent teenagers? I definitely don’t know what I’m doing, but I’ll take a shot at talking about it.
If you’re not a parent but still want a dose of Monday morning Lazy Genius, try Episode 378: 13 Principles that Will Change Your Life. It’s The Lazy Genius Way’s birthday month, and that episode from a couple of years ago is all about the original 13 Lazy Genius principles, which could be a nice reminder this time of year.
