Speaker 1: in Treatment, a weekly podcast of shocking survivor experiences and
Speaker 1: stories from an industry plagued by controversy. With my host
Speaker 1: Caroline Cole and Rebecca Mellinger, we will uncover the truth
Speaker 1: of one team treatment facility each season. First up, Provo
Speaker 1: Canyon School. This one is personal. Listen to Trapped in
Speaker 1: Treatment on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or

Speaker 1: Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast where we
Speaker 1: share strategies for thriving in the new world of work,
Speaker 1: where location and hours are more flexible than in the past.
Speaker 1: Today's tip is to make set decisions for Mondays so
Speaker 1: you can free up mental space for more important matters.
Speaker 1: I'm taking today's tip from Kendra Adachi's new book, The
Speaker 1: Lazy Genius Way. In it, she shares strategies for running
Speaker 1: households and life more effectively She writes in the book
Speaker 1: that Monday's used to be pretty rough for her, which
Speaker 1: I think we can all sympathize with. But then she
Speaker 1: hit upon the idea of making a decision once and
Speaker 1: running with that decision again and again. She made one
Speaker 1: decision about her outfits and meal choices for Monday's and
Speaker 1: began each week wearing and eating the same thing as
Speaker 1: she did the week before. With that decision about her
Speaker 1: Monday outfit and her Monday meals made, she could save
Speaker 1: her energy for other things. I think this is a
Speaker 1: great idea. I'm sure you've stumbled out of bed Monday
Speaker 1: mornings and stood in front of the closet deciding what
Speaker 1: to wear. If you know the answer is black pants
Speaker 1: and a certain nice shirt, then you no longer have
Speaker 1: to think about this question. If you know the answer
Speaker 1: to what's for dinner is pasta, because it is every Monday,
Speaker 1: you don't have to devote brain power to pondering this
Speaker 1: when you could be figuring out how to serve a
Speaker 1: new client. Now, of course, you can decide once on
Speaker 1: stuff for any day, but there is a particular genius,
Speaker 1: perhaps a lazy genius, to doing this for Monday. Many
Speaker 1: people start the week in a discombobulated state. They didn't
Speaker 1: go to bed on time the night before, and so
Speaker 1: they're tired. They know there is a big pile of
Speaker 1: work waiting for them, but they don't know exactly what's
Speaker 1: in the pile, and so it is easy to feel fried.
Speaker 1: And that's too bad, because we tend to have more
Speaker 1: energy for anything at the start of it. Tackle a
Speaker 1: big project Monday morning and the week will be amazing.
Speaker 1: To tackle that big project, though, you have to conserve
Speaker 1: your energy. And here's where the Monday choices come into play.
Speaker 1: It's only one day of the week where whatever you
Speaker 1: feel like on Tuesday, but having a Monday morning uniform
Speaker 1: means that Monday can be more awesome. So today, think
Speaker 1: about what sort of decisions could help you navigate Monday.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's your breakfast choices. Maybe it's what you wear
Speaker 1: or what you dress your little kids in. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: what you listen to. Maybe it's what work out you do.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's who you call first from work. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: what you watch in the evening. In any case, decide
Speaker 1: once for Mondays and then you don't have to decide again.
Speaker 1: You can use your saved energy or whatever you like.
