Annie, Harmony, and Heather are all big fans of The Lazy Genius Way by Kendra Adachi. In Kendra’s book, there are 13 key principles, and in this episode, we tackle the first six. What about the rest of the principles? Tune in next week for Lazy Genius Your Homeschool Part 2!
The biggest point Kendra makes in her book is to be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t. This isn’t about what your neighbor does or how your sister might do something–this is about YOU and finding out what works best for you and your family! We take each of Kendra’s principles and run them through our homeschool filters to see how we can incorporate them into our homes and routines to make our days run more smoothly.
Just to be clear, The Lazy Genius Way is not a homeschool-specific book, but we strongly believe that the practical concepts are applicable and beneficial to homeschoolers! In today’s episode, we talk about deciding once, starting small, living in the season, building the right routines, and setting house rules. Don’t they all sound like concepts that can improve a homeschooler’s day? Listen in to see how you can lazy genius your homeschool!
