I picked up this book thinking it would help me with overwhelm at work -- and somewhat at home -- but is the entire book going to be about homemaking for young Christian moms? Because then I think I'll dnf. A lot of it already feels irrelevant.

This book is about living intentionally, and learning how to be more efficient and set yourself up for success so you can focus on the things that matter to you and be more present in your life. This book is geared towards moms, but I don't think a specific type of mom.

As a working mom, I really appreciate the Lazy Genius principles because my family time and free time are limited. Learning to decide once, live in my season, ask the magic question, build routines, schedule rest, be more kind to myself, etc. have really made a difference for me at home and at work. A lot of these principles help with overwhelm because they teach you how to do things in advance and be more efficient, as well as to be a better judge of what to take on and be kinder to yourself when they don't.

While the examples are focused on being a mom, the principles can 100% be expanded beyond to other areas of life. I have applied what I've learned in this book to work, even though the examples of how to apply the principles are based on examples of being a mom and focus on your personal life. However, if you are looking for a book that is just about work and that has specific examples for work, this is not it. This book will simply introduce you to the questions and principles you can apply to any aspect of life where you wish to be a lazy genius.(less)
