What everyone needs- even men

Love Kendra’s style of conveying a helpful honest big sister approach to not just time management but LIFE management. The chapter on the menstrual cycle was surprisingly very informative even as a 37 yr old woman who has had a period over 2 decades. Personally I didn’t understand how that could be so important in a book about managing time but made a ton of sense. Everyone even men should read this book (it is written for and towards women) as it would make life easier for everyone! So glad I listened to it AND have a physical copy to highlight and take notes in.

It's okay to pivot.

love it! not too serious and just light hearted take on this very serious topic.

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.

The simplicity of Adachi’s approach.

This is first and foremost a very sane approach for women. It’s goal is peaceful and joyful living, not Greatness. Finally!

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.

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.

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!!

Love this!!

So so helpful in the world we live in! I’ve been feeling depressed & overwhelmed in this “season” I already feel a load off.. Thank you!

Clear. Kind. Directed to women.

I enjoyed Kendra’s gentle planning methods of asking questions to help guide you to your own answers instead of the traditional hard structure of time management.
