Helpful Food Decisions
Deciding once about food choices can simplify meal planning. The speaker follows a dinner queue for easy meal decision-making and plans meals on Sundays based on factors like the weather and the dinner queue. Additionally, involving kids in meal planning by letting each choose a meal helps streamline the process. Implementing frozen breakfast options and a lunch formula have been efficient strategies for easier meal management.
Parenting Rhythms
Establishing routines before screen time and prioritizing homework before screen usage are practical strategies for effective parenting. Encouraging reading and providing individual meal cleanup responsibilities for each child aid in maintaining a structured household. Ensuring that children shower at night and providing consistent meal cleanup assignments contribute to smoother family dynamics.
Generosity and Money Decisions
Prioritizing generosity by preparing chicken shawarma for meal trains and supporting schools with needed resources exemplifies a generous mindset. Opting to give away items instead of selling them demonstrates a commitment to generosity over profit-driven choices. The speaker highlights the importance of covering expenses when inviting others and choosing thoughtful gifts like Genius Square or a slime kit for kids.
Personal Well-being Choices
Embracing personal enjoyment without guilt and focusing on drawing faces as a creative outlet are essential well-being decisions. Incorporating self-care routines like washing the face during specific times and allocating dedicated lunch breaks positively impact daily routines. Designating Fridays as sacred days off and acknowledging the evolving nature of helpful decisions emphasize the importance of self-care and adaptability.
My first book The Lazy Genius Way introduces 13 Lazy Genius principles that help you name what matters, ditch what doesn’t, and get stuff done. The first of those principles is Decide Once. Decide Once means you make one decision about one thing and you keep making that decision over and over until it doesn’t work for you anymore. Today, I’m sharing 20 decisions I keep repeating.
