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

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.

What everyone needs- even men

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

It's okay to pivot.

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.

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.

Every chapter- wisdom overload

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!

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

This is definitely a book that I will go back to for reference!
Only draw back is I listened as an audible, I just need to download work areas for assistance.

Her sense of humor and how she applied it.

This book goes into how to plan. It’s a real upheaval of just list taking and scheduling. It goes into the why, the groundwork, then the steps on how to plan for you- meaning it’s adaptable and forgiving for whatever is happening. The Plan offers forgiveness for not being perfect, and keeps that in mind as the book goes on. I needing up reading along with a hard copy, and I found that the most helpful—- it’s certainly not needed, but worked for my adhd brain to stay focused.

Planing for the season YOU are in

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!!
