Chaucer’s Books will host New York Times bestselling author Kendra Adachi for a meet-and-greet book signing of her latest book “The Plan: Manage Your Time Like a Lazy Genius,” 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4 at 3321 State St., Santa Barbara.
In her new book Adachi (bestselling author of “The Lazy Genius Way”), offers a practical time management book for people weary of productivity but eager to live a good life.
“Most time-management books leave you feeling inadequate, focusing on greatness and optimization. But what if you want to simply live your life without chasing productivity at every turn? Is there a way to manage your time without being at its mercy? Absolutely,” Chaucer’s said, “And ‘The PLAN’ will show you how.”
Using the acronym PLAN, Adachi instructs readers to prepare, live, adjust, and notice like a Lazy Genius, all through the lens of what matters currently. The PLAN recommends readers:
- Discover two beliefs that will change your time management forever.
- Integrate your hormones, personality, and life stage into your planning process.
- Use the Lighten the Load framework to get your stuff done.
- Experience freedom from the crushing pressure of greatness, potential, and hustle.
- Live wholeheartedly today.
