I’m excited about this episode because when I went looking for grownup lunch help, I found very little that would work for a variety of people. Most solutions start from the wrong place, so today we’re going to Lazy Genius this. We’re going to go in the right order, which is a Lazy Genius principle, and we’re going to figure out how to pack lunch for work in a way that supports each person individually and what matters to them. Helpful Companion Links Episode #238: How to Get Stuff Done When You Don’t Feel Like It The Lazy Genius Kitchen The Chickpea Bowl Download a transcript of this episode.   This podcast is hosted by Kendra Adachi and executive produced by Kendra Adachi, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.

I love doing these episodes because they are a reminder for me as I create them and you as you listen to them that we can always pay attention to what’s saving our lives. What’s giving us joy and hope and rest and fun? It’s easy to survive every day or focus on what’s productive, but we also want to notice, maybe even way more so so, the things that make life really really good. So today, I’ll share mine. Helpful Companion Links Previous What’s Saving My Life Right Now episodes: #251 (February 2022), #236 (November 2021), #203 (March 2021) Stranger Things The Trespasser by Tana French Eufy Robot Vacuum Sherry from Young House Love Get the Latest Lazy Letter Download a transcript of this episode.   This podcast is hosted by Kendra Adachi and executive produced by Kendra Adachi, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.

The summer-to-fall transition can feel murky, especially if you have kids or work in education. There’s not a clean mark between the end of this and the start of that. Which means it feels like we’re neither beginning nor ending anything. We are not crossing finish lines or hearing starting guns. We’re just running around like headless chickens. Let’s talk about how to finish summer in this super short little summer episode. Helpful Companion Links Emily P.

I haven’t talked about opening and closing ceremonies (or what I now have shortened and broadened to seasonal ceremonies) in a while. Even though a lot of you are familiar with them, we haven’t done a full-on episode about them before if you can believe it! Plus, I love this idea of a new name that will broaden our definition a little. Helpful Companion Links Episode #119: Plan Your Opening Ceremony Episode #187: Rethinking Opening Ceremonies Episode #159: The Magic of Closing Ceremonies Download a transcript of this episode.   This podcast is hosted by Kendra Adachi and executive produced by Kendra Adachi, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.

Yeah, we need to fix dinner, as in make it. But also summer dinners feel a little broken, especially around July, so we’re going to fix them that way, too!

Let’s do a quick little midsummer pep talk for the year of 2022 that just keeps outdoing its big brothers, 2020 and 2021. There are so many things that can impact our day, and right now, it feels like the intensity of the sensory input is extra sharp and edgy. Summer by itself often gives us reason to see things differently. Helpful Companion Links Episode 219: A Midsummer Pep Talk Episode 230: How to Feel like a Person with Aundi Kolber Details about the Farmer’s Curb Market in Greensboro, where I will be on July 16 from 10-12!
