Molly Ferguson's Reviews > The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn't, and Get Stuff Done

I can see this book really useful and groundbreaking for some women. If you are a hetero middle class (white) Christian woman in a nuclear family with a traditional breakdown of household labor, there are a lot of things here for you. I am most of these things, and so there were things here for me. The parts of this I liked were the principles of: Decide First!, the magic question, and batching/zones. These were useful! I also like how Adachi does own her privilege at times and how she says people are free to take or leave anything that works for them or doesn't. However, if you do not fit a couple of the categories above, you may feel excluded from or resentful about this book. For example, Adachi very cheerfully expects that most of the household labor is hers to do, and the last third of the book gets pretty religious. Your mileage may vary - I'm going to take the few things I liked and run with them.
