Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So glad to have finally sat down with this. Good insights for streamlining one‘s approach. Will definitely try to incorporate the principles into aspects of my life.

I love Kendra! I‘ve been listening to the Lazy Genius for years so I‘m not sure how much new stuff I got out of this but it‘s such a good primer and reminder of her principles.

My December #bookspin

4.5/5

I enjoyed this book, and I think it pairs well with How to Keep House While Drowning. It's all about finding ways to focus your time and energy on the things that matter to you and not the things that don't.

So the Ugg Pouf book holder recently had quite the heyday on the FB Book Group pages. They‘re sold out everywhere. I thought I was really missing out, but let me tell you that this little substitute book pillow/holder from Target is hitting the mark! Didn‘t know how much I “needed” it until I had it. #gamechanger

Day 2 review: I completed my first book of #20in4, though I've only read for 8 hours so far. @Andrew65
I enjoy books like this that I can relate to, even if only a bit - has a good message & gives useful tips to accomplish the message. There were potential contradictions in some tips, but that didn't change my opinion of the overall book too. This was written before COVID times, so I wonder if she has revised anything to fit the current times.

I‘ve lived most of my life as a Lazy Genius, but I never knew what that was until now. This book‘s focus on pouring energy into the things that matter to you & letting go of the rest was profound. I loved the idea to make fixed decisions when you can & to take small steps towards your goal instead of staying big and failing. Also the Magic Question: What can I do now to make life easier later?

“Tend to the necessary before it becomes urgent.”

⭐⭐⭐

A helpful approach to life in general; a gentle reminder that sometimes all we need is a shift in perspective to acknowledge what matters and embrace it.

Unaware that this text would touch upon the author's faith since a religious component is not something I typically look for in self improvement titles.

Overall, a listening experience that offered some useful tips and provided some examples on how these could be put into practice.

One of my top reads of 2020. I found this book so helpful and really relevant - the chapters on celebration, and on what to do when you don‘t love the season you‘re in, made me get out pen and paper and take notes from the audiobook. The author reads it, it‘s brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meh. I‘m done here. There‘s someone that‘s going to find this book life changing and soul guiding, but that person‘s not me and definitely not in this season of my life. I‘m out. ✌️

This was fine. Some helpful ideas in here but it is mostly geared to busy women with kids. Which, my kids are four legged, furry and don‘t have gymnastics or soccer practice (though they do get zoomies 🙄🙈) so this wasn‘t all that useful for me. I can see how this could be helpful to others (with or without kids) but I didn‘t get much out of it. At least it was a quick read anyway.

Loved this book! Funny and helpful in so many ways. It‘s one I will definitely be coming back to again and again. It‘s not telling you how to live, but how to build systems and tools that work for however you live your life. That way you can do more of what you enjoy, what you love and what matters to you. Also, love her podcast. 💕

Fun look at ways to focus on what matters and not waste our time and energy on what doesn‘t. It was a quick read.

Pretty good. Nothing earth shattering but I found her perspective inspiring and picked up some great suggestions for streamlining my life and spend more time doing the things I want to and less on the tasks that bore me. Nice #audiobook to end one year and start the next!

Loved this one so much that I‘m putting the physical copy on my wish list so I can refer back to it. I‘ve already picked up some good new habits, but I‘m starting small like the book emphasizes. I‘m using this for #thinkpink for #booked2020

Oh goodness do I love this more than I thought possible. Already familiar with the authors work from her podcast, but still managed to come away with new insights. I love her life tips, and her way of the Lazy Genius. I will be shouting from on high about this book. Though I received a digital review copy I will be buying my own physical copy shortly. #arc #netgalley #allopinionsmyown

I just had a woah moment. As I‘m out sick. Again. Seriously this is me right now. Well that and another cold or something. (Plague negative at least woot!). Anyway I‘m plodding through this book slower than I planned bc I keep stopping to reflect. I knew I would find some takeaways bc I enjoy her podcast but this book is what I need now. Anything hit you that way before?

I feel kind of lousy - we‘re fighting something which is no fun even in normal times but involves navigating extra layers in pandemic time. Anyway - I‘m super bad at accepting help. I got a little better after having kiddo, but this chapter really made me thing about how I need to get better at it.

I am a big fan of The Lazy Genius podcast and it was fun to read this book while being able to "hear" Adachi's voice in my head. My biggest takeaway from the podcast is to name what matters to you and build routines etc from that. I feel like that point was woven through the book but not called out as its own item. I think this book details a great approach to improving your life from a place of compassion and efficiency (more...)

I‘m way behind on my Netgalley reads, but really enjoying this one. I‘d listened to a bit of the podcast so not a total surprise. I‘m reading this one on my phone in between activities with the 3 year old. Bit by bit.

I read this one today and IT IS AWESOME. I wish I had this years ago when my kids were younger. It was filled with great nuggets for me though too as an empty nester. So. Much. Goodness. ❤️
