Death, Sex & Money: The Making and Unmaking of a Productivity Perfectionist

This week, author and podcaster Kendra Adachi explains how she took
perfectionism and strict time-management way too far and was forced
to radically change her ways. Her new book is called The Plan: How
to Manage Your Time Like a Lazy Genius, and it aims to be what most
time-management books aren’t: flexible, kind, and applicable to
people with busy schedules and loved ones to care for.  To
learn more about Kendra’s 13 Lazy Genius principles, check out this
episode of her podcast: 13 Principles That Will Change Your Life
Forever.    Podcast production by Cameron Drews.
