44. Embrace what matters, ditch what doesn’t with Kendra Adachi

I’m guessing there’s not one of us who couldn’t use a bit of practical parenting advice, considering all #2020 has thrown our way. Thankfully, Kendra Adachi is on Pardon the Mess today, and she’s bringing us just that!

Kendra passionately and candidly speaks into how to stop doing it all, so that we can do the things that really matter. Her mantra is quite genius: Be a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesn’t. 

Sign me up, right? 

With her thirteen guiding principles, she helps us work through issues we all face in raising kids. She even “lazy geniuses” a struggle happening in my home with my preschooler.  

Here are a few of my favorite takeaways: 

• Live in your season because it won’t last forever
• Name what matters and remove things that don’t support that
• Build the right routines
• Schedule rest by doing the thing that makes you feel most like yourself

Oh, and be sure to check out all of Kendra’s lazy genius podcast episodes, including how to make her change-your-life chicken, how to shop at Costco, or how to start a hobby. She even told me how to “lazy genius” when cleaning my bathrooms.

This girl has something for everyone!
