<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcast. Good morning, this is Laura.

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast where we

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>share strategies for thriving in the new world of work,

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>where location and hours are more flexible than in the past.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is to make set decisions for Mondays so

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you can free up mental space for more important matters.

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking today's tip from Kendra Adachi's new book, The

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Lazy Genius Way. In it, she shares strategies for running

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:43.199
<v Speaker 1>households and life more effectively She writes in the book

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that Monday's used to be pretty rough for her, which

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I think we can all sympathize with. But then she

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>hit upon the idea of making a decision once and

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>running with that decision again and again. She made one

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>decision about her outfits and meal choices for Monday's and

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>began each week wearing and eating the same thing as

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>she did the week before. With that decision about her

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Monday outfit and her Monday meals made, she could save

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>her energy for other things. I think this is a

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>great idea. I'm sure you've stumbled out of bed Monday

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>mornings and stood in front of the closet deciding what

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to wear. If you know the answer is black pants

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and a certain nice shirt, then you no longer have

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>to think about this question. If you know the answer

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to what's for dinner is pasta, because it is every Monday,

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to devote brain power to pondering this

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>when you could be figuring out how to serve a

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 1>new client. Now, of course, you can decide once on

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>stuff for any day, but there is a particular genius,

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>perhaps a lazy genius, to doing this for Monday. Many

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>people start the week in a discombobulated state. They didn't

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>go to bed on time the night before, and so

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>they're tired. They know there is a big pile of

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>work waiting for them, but they don't know exactly what's

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>in the pile, and so it is easy to feel fried.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's too bad, because we tend to have more

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>energy for anything at the start of it. Tackle a

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>big project Monday morning and the week will be amazing.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>To tackle that big project, though, you have to conserve

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>your energy. And here's where the Monday choices come into play.

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>It's only one day of the week where whatever you

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like on Tuesday, but having a Monday morning uniform

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>means that Monday can be more awesome. So today, think

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>about what sort of decisions could help you navigate Monday.

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's your breakfast choices. Maybe it's what you wear

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>or what you dress your little kids in. Maybe it's

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>what you listen to. Maybe it's what work out you do.

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's who you call first from work. Maybe it's

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>what you watch in the evening. In any case, decide

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>once for Mondays and then you don't have to decide again.

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>You can use your saved energy or whatever you like.

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, This is Laura. Thanks for listening, and
