Y’all, I always struggle this time of year. The two weeks before school starts have historically left me feeling stressed, anxious, and ready for some simplicity. The simplicity does come (sort of) with the start of the school year and a normal routine, but all of the scurrying and extras can wear a person down. Today, I want to share a way to think about your time commitments and responsibilities through a Lazy Genius lens so that you can decide what you’re done with and remove that thing so that you can leave space for what matters more.

When I shared in last month’s newsletter that my teenage boys finally got cell phones, the response was overwhelming. It was so big, we pivoted our plan for today’s episode to talk about it.
