Reviews

This was so encouraging and informative; I thought this was a great book for the pandemic and quarantine -- the basic principles are as follows: DECIDE ONCE Lazy Genius Principle #1 START SMALL Lazy Genius Principle #2 ASK THE MAGIC QUESTION Lazy Genius Principle #3 LIVE IN THE SEASON Lazy Genius Principle #4 BUILD THE RIGHT ROUTINES Lazy Genius Principle #5 SET HOUSE RULES Lazy Genius Principle #6 PUT EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE Lazy Genius Principle #7 LET PEOPLE IN Lazy Genius Principle #8 BATCH IT Lazy Genius Principle #9 ESSENTIALIZE Lazy Genius Principle #10 GO IN THE RIGHT ORDER Lazy Genius Principle #11 SCHEDULE REST Lazy Genius Principle #12 BE KIND TO YOURSELF Lazy Genius Principle #13 I think being kind to yourself is a wonderful section as I often do not do that. I thought each was informative t the day to day that we do in lockdown and this pandemic. Outside of it, it is advantageous as well. Being able to have a book that teaches you that laziness is okay is encouraging. Most state how productive you always need to be, how you always need to be "working," which gives a nice reprieve. Instead of making it seem like "laziness" is a terrible quality, it allows you to understand that rest and taking breaks is vital. I think that is what makes this book fantastic and informative.

I loved this book. Not only did she give examples and tips to help make tasks simple she also breaks down how to make sure you are prioritizing yourself as a person. What others do for them might not work for you. I personally will be using several of her approaches to life in my world moving forward as they fit according to my life. Worth reading!

If you're a suburban, middle-class, Christian, stay-at-home mom of three from the USA, this is probably the book for you. Since I fit very few of these categories, I struggled with resonating with the messages and stories as much I would have hoped to. The author offers 13 principles for living a more fulfilled life, in what she calls the "Lazy Genius Way". These principles are all illustrated through real-life situations she has gone through. Although I found some of the principles to be useful and resonated with several passages, I just couldn't connect to it as a whole. I don't think this is a bad book, I just don't think it's a book for me. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
