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.

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.

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.

Every chapter- wisdom overload

Grab a notebook and sit with this book. I was hesitant to buy my first Kendra Adachi book. Yes, I’ve listened to her podcast and ordered her books from the library. A part of me has rebelled as I assume she has the picture-perfect life and could only teach someone like me so much…. All I can say is… read every chapter even if it doesn’t seem to pertain to your situation. I was writing down suggestions at every page.

Essay stretched to book length

Author has some good points, but it felt longer than necessary. Would appreciate a collection of essays instead.

Agree with the author that women trying to be just like men is a recipe for burnout, but instead of blaming the men, why not focus on women’s responsibility (and what we can do to change it)? Love that this book takes a women’s perspective on time management, but men aren’t the ones asking us to be everything they are—that comes from other women.

Love a plan for planning!

Love having language for all these approaches to time management. It helps me understand myself and others as well as giving me the encouragement and compassion I need to keep going.

Helpful

Exactly what I needed for this stage of my life. Will be recommending to all my female co-workers and friends.

Kind time management 🤍

The time management book that also doubles as a warm hug. I love Kendra’s approach and the emphasis on naming what matters as the foundation for our plans.

Loved The Plan!

We need more women lifting women like this does! Kendra does such a great job viewing productivity through the female perspective. Kindness to ourselves and others is the best path whatever someone’s goals and aspirations are. Thank you Kendra and the LG team!!
