The Lazy Genius Way

I hated the pressure of Mondays because I felt like every decision reset to zero.

I kept deciding once—what time I would get up, what I’d do first thing in the morning, what we’d eat for dinner that night.

so I decided once on a Monday uniform and never looked back.

Theoretically, you probably love the idea of giving gifts. Oh, to be generous in spirit and in your choice of premium wrapping paper. But realistically, it’s a pain.

Instead, decide once. Choose now what you’ll get every teacher for every occasion. For Christmas, I give a book.*3

only to follow through on basically nothing.

we make a lot of decisions. Like, a lot. Constant decision-making is one of the reasons you don’t have energy for things that matter to you.

Other Mondays got a dose of determined genius. I’d spend Sunday night maniacally scribbling in my newest planner, organizing every meal I’d make, glass of water I’d consume, errand I’d run,

Every choice matters because each one matters to someone, but hold only the ones that matter to you. As you live as a unique, stunning, powerful individual, embracing what matters and ditching what doesn’t, you’ll empower the women in your life to do the same.
