Kendra Adachi went to college to become a high school English teacher but instead became The Lazy Genius, passionately and candidly sharing how to stop doing it all for the sake of doing what matters. Her work includes hosting The Lazy Genius Podcast, cooking dinner on Instagram, and convincing her three young kids that talking into the phone is Mommy’s job. She and her husband love raising their family in the same North Carolina city they both grew up in.

Emily P. Freeman is the bestselling author of five books, including the Wall Street Journal bestseller The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions. With a master’s degree in Spiritual Formation and Leadership from Friends University, where she serves as a Residency Lecturer, her most important work is to help create soul space and offer spiritual companionship and discernment for anyone struggling with decision fatigue. Her work has been featured in Today Parents, Christianity Today, and Patheos. Emily lives in North Carolina with her husband and three teenagers.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Lazy Genius Way brings her signature Kind Big Sister Energy to a practical time management book for people weary of productivity but eager to live a good life.

Why do so-called life hacks leave us drowning in tasks, schedules, and unfulfilled expectations? In her straightforward, humorous style, author Kendra Adachi reveals why the problem is not you.

Most time management systems prioritize optimization and greatness in service to an imagined future, but what if that's not your goal? What if you long for a book that helps you live wholeheartedly today? The PLAN is the answer.

Using the memorable acronym "PLAN," you will learn to prepare, live, adjust, and notice like a Lazy Genius, all through the lens of what matters to you in your current season:

• Discover two beliefs that will change time management forever
• Integrate your hormones, personality, and life stage into your planning process
• Learn the Lighten the Load to-do list framework to help you get your stuff done
• Use The PLAN Pyramid to help you visualize a balanced life

Experience freedom from the crushing pressure of greatness, potential, and hustle.

Refreshingly compassionate and immediately practical, The PLAN is the book—and the framework—you've been waiting for.
