About this listen

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.

If productivity systems tend to let you down, listening to The PLAN will be such a relief.

Most time-management books leave you feeling inadequate, focusing on greatness and optimization. But what if you want to simply live your life without chasing productivity at every turn? Is there a way to manage your time without being at its mercy?

Absolutely, and The PLAN will show you how.

In her signature “Kind Big Sister” style, Kendra Adachi offers a fresh take on managing your time. 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. With The PLAN, you’ll

• discover two beliefs that will change your time management forever

• integrate your hormones, personality, and life stage into your planning process

• use the Lighten the Load framework to get your stuff done

• experience freedom from the crushing pressure of greatness, potential, and hustle

• live wholeheartedly today

Refreshingly compassionate and immediately practical, The PLAN is what you’ve been waiting for.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains the Quick-Reference Guide from the printed book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Dear Listener,

Who did I write The PLAN for?
"I wrote The PLAN for folks who wish there was more compassion woven into their time management. The vast majority of books in this genre teach the pursuit of greatness, hustle, and mastery as the only recipe for a good life, but I find this message to be incomplete. What about today? What about contentment? What if I would like to live well where I am in my current season of life, and not always pursue an ideal, invisible future? I wrote this audiobook because the productivity machine is not the only option, and that is such a relief. Compassionate time management changes everything, and The PLAN is where it starts. "– Kendra Adachi, writer of The PLAN

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.

Looking at Time Management through the lens of being a woman = BRILLIANCE!!

Kendra has literally opened my eyes to looking at time management with such grace and from the “new” perspective of being a woman and I am SO grateful. I no longer have to feel guilty on the days I just can’t “get ‘er done”. I can simply be compassionate towards myself, my situation, my humans, and move forward “accessing kindness” to the best of my ability and trusting that there is goodness present. Thank you Kendra, this was brilliant!

Great but not life changing

This is a great audiobook to listen to. I like the flow and the organization. I really appreciate the comparison of a "puzzle" life versus a "painting life". However, some of the content seemed a little like it was unnecessary or there to lengthen it. Some sentences including long transitions or explanations could be examples of this. Overall, very happy with this title.

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.

Encouragement

I felt at times it can be a little to feminist for my taste. Although she does address that she is not man-shaming so it helped balance it. Overall I did like it.
