  • Enjoying all the wisdom- but long intro

    I’m really enjoying this podcast and all the great lazy genius ideas to help run a household with more contentment and perspective. I just wish the intro was shorter is all. It takes about over 10 minutes to get to the jist. Not sure if the overview of the episode before hand is overtly necessary. Needless to say I will still listen and be content with just forwarding about 10 minutes. That would be my only feedback 😄

  • It used to be great

    Man, I loved this podcast and didn’t miss an episode but something changed. Go ahead and skip the first 10 minutes - it’s just ads and self-promotion. Then be prepared to sit on that skip button because the ads just keep rolling. Disappointed that there is so much clutter to sift through to get to the meat of an episode.

  • 10 minutes of ads before show starts :(

    Big fan of the tips, but when the actual show doesn’t start until nearly 10 minutes in, I give up. Bummer.

  • Why has nobody told me about this podcast before?!

    I discovered Kendra Adachi through the Clutterbug Podcast about a month ago, and honestly, I can’t believe how much her approach has changed the way I think about everyday life.

    Now I find myself using Lazy Genius principles every single day without even realising it. From deciding once, to being kind to myself about what really matters, her methods are practical, realistic, and actually work in real life.

    I’ve already bought two of her books, and I’m working my way through the back catalogue ... more
