Book Review- The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn’t, and Get Stuff Done

February 20, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

As someone who is constantly bombarded by the constant noise of societal expectations and pressure to do more and be more, I was in desperate need of a guide to help me navigate this overwhelming maze. That’s why I was drawn to “The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn’t, and Get Stuff Done“. And let me tell you, it was a game changer!

From the first chapter, Kendra Adachi’s relatable and humorous writing style had me hooked. She breaks down the idea of being a “Lazy Genius” – not about doing more or less, but about doing what matters to you. Her thirteen Lazy Genius principles are a breath of fresh air, giving you permission to let go of the “shoulds” and focus on what truly matters to you.

One of the principles that really resonated with me was “Decide Once”. Kendra explains how making decisions once and sticking to them can save us so much time and energy in the long run. It’s a simple, yet powerful idea that has changed the way I approach my daily tasks and responsibilities.

I also appreciated how Kendra emphasizes the importance of rest and self-care. In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget about taking breaks and taking care of ourselves. But as Kendra points out, rest is just as important as work, and when we prioritize it, we’re able to perform at our best.

“The Lazy Genius Way” has transformed the way I think about productivity and living a fulfilling life. Kendra’s writing style is approachable and easy to follow, making this book accessible to anyone who needs a break from the chaos. If you’re looking for a guide to help you simplify your life and focus on what matters, I highly recommend this book!

Garage Door Halloween Decorations

This Garage Door Halloween Decoration project is such a fun way to make a big Halloween statement without needing to decorate the whole yard. Instead of a small wreath or porch sign, this idea turns the entire garage door into a spooky silhouette scene, complete with witches, pumpkins, trees, cats, and creepy Halloween shapes.

I really like this one because it has huge visual impact from the street. The black silhouettes against the pale garage door make the design easy to see, even from a distance, and it gives the whole house that haunted Halloween feel without being too gory or scary. It is perfect for families who want something dramatic but still fun for trick-or-treaters.

This is also a great project if you enjoy cutting your own shapes from cardboard, poster board, foam board, or lightweight plastic sheets. You could keep the design simple with just bats and pumpkins, or go all out with witches, trees, ghosts, black cats, and cauldrons. Add a few outdoor spotlights or battery lights nearby and it would look amazing at night.

What makes this project especially clever is that the garage door becomes the backdrop, so you do not need a lot of expensive supplies to fill a large space. It is bold, budget-friendly, and very customizable.
