#258 - The Seven Kinds of Rest and How to Know Which One You Need
Rest itself is such a needed thing for all of us. After all, a Lazy Genius principle is to schedule rest, mostly because we just let it happen and it never does. But I have also been paying a lot of attention to the different kinds of rest and why certain kinds don’t always land for us. Or why we take the time to rest but still feel unfilled after. A conversation around the nuance of rest is desperately needed, especially when a lot of us are working with less margin than we ever have before. So let’s dive in.Helpful Companion LinksThis episode covers principles from my first book, The Lazy Genius Way.

#256 - How to Make Time for Fun
We are very good at talking about productive things, domestic things, hard being-a-person things, but we don’t often talk about specifically fun things. The busier we are, the more humans we interact with and care for, the more we don’t deal with the mounting pressure of what it means to be a person in this world right now, we don’t leave a lot of room for fun. And I want us to actually systemize it today. I want us to Lazy Genius fun and for you to figure out how to add more fun to your life on purpose.Helpful Companion LinksDetails about our upcoming Pub Crawl events in Chicago, DC and Greensboro.Bonus episode with my sister HannahEmily P.

It’s so desperately essential to living like a Lazy Genius, and I’ve never actually done an episode or spent a length of time talking about how to do this, how to name what matters.

#254 - Chores I Do Every Day
I don’t have a lot of time, you probably don’t either, and even if you do, most of us don’t necessarily want to spend all of it doing chores. Some chores you might like, some are therapeutic and calming and give you a sense of accomplishment and purpose, and that’s fantastic. But I think it’s always good to evaluate what we’re doing every day, what we’re not doing every day, and what matters most.Helpful Companion LinksExplore all 13 Lazy Genius principles in my first book The Lazy Genius Way.Episode #225: The Shoe EpisodeEpisode #91: The Lazy Genius Organizes PaperPreorder my newest book The Lazy Genius Kitchen (out May 3!) and get a ticket to the first Pub Crawl event by letting us know you preordered here.Download a transcript of this episode.
