The PLAN: Manage Your Time Like a Lazy Genius by Kendra Adachi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Kendra Adachi offers a different approach to time management by focusing on living life without the constant need for productivity. She introduces the PLAN acronym: Prepare, Live, Adjust, and Notice. This method helps you manage your time based on what matters to you in your current life state. The book promises to change your time management perspective by integrating personal factors like hormones and personality, using the Lighten the Load framework and freeing you from the pressures of potential and hustle, allowing you to live wholeheartedly.
Calling out key quotes, using bold font for key words and phrases, and summarizing each chapter is valuable to reinforce the number of concepts and acronyms presented. If you are a fan of the author’s other books and her Lazy Genius method, you will appreciate how she incorporates it into this book. The “pep talks” are targeted topics and can be consulted as needed. There is also a helpful quick reference guide.
The book is written for women. Men may not feel invited to the party. Also, if you tend to be a type-A, checklist-loving person, you may not feel there is enough accountability and practicality in the recommendations.
