Chapter 1: What is the main topic of the Friday Chit Chat with Kendra Adachi?
Hello, everyone. Hi there. What a fun day. We are joined today by Kendra Adachi. You guys know her as the Lazy Genius. We love her. Kendra, hi. Hi, guys. It's so fun to be here with y'all. Thanks for joining us for a little, just a little chit chat.
Just a little chit chat. I'm a big fan of chit chatting.
We love a little Friday chitty chat chat. We should say we're all remote. We're all like in some type of closet room situation.
Chapter 2: How do the hosts manage their daily habits and routines?
Yeah.
We're ladies who podcast. This is how you do it.
This is what you do. In some ways, this is why you do it. Because you can do your job in a closet and it's great.
Oh, before you hopped on, Kendra, I told Jenna, she was like, I didn't do my makeup. And I was like, oh, I slept in this shirt. 100%.
Yeah, 100%.
This is the shirt I slept in.
I am wearing my pajama pants, but I changed my shirt. However, I told Angela, I slept in a gray t-shirt and I took it off and put on actually a sort of slouchier gray t-shirt. So I changed out of my sleeping gray shirt into my day wear gray shirt, I guess.
substitute mine for the color black, and we are the same.

Chapter 3: What are some unconventional times to complete everyday tasks?
Yeah, same. Well, we get our chit-chat suggestions from listeners. It's this really fun new thing we do, and people write in the best stuff. Our first one is coming from Missy S. in Hearst, Texas. Let's hear what she has to say.
Good morning, office ladies, long-time listener, first-time caller. My name is Missy, and I am from Hearst, Texas. As I was listening to your second drink, Yesterday evening while I was making dinner, I realized that this is not right. What do I mean, you ask?
Well, I've made a habit over the last five to six years, however long you have been podcasting, to listen in the morning on my way to work. I'm a teacher. It's become habitual for me. It brightens my morning whenever there's a new show and I just love you ladies. So this got me thinking, what are some things that you do in your life that you can only do at certain times of day?
Chapter 4: Which fictional characters would the hosts dislike sitting next to on a flight?
Whether it's going for a run, whether it's having fun conversations with your kids, whether it's Whatever it is, I don't know. I just thought it was so funny that it felt so wrong to listen to you guys in the evening as I was cooking dinner because the habit has become to listen in the morning on my way to work. Thank you so much for all you guys do. Love you so much.
Looking forward to many, many years of more Office Ladies.
Bye. I love this question. It's deeply nuanced.
It is.
I don't know that I've ever heard anybody ask a question like this before. It's very thoughtful.
I love how in touch Missy is with her habits and routines and her attachment to them. I can relate to that.
Okay, well, I think we should all tell Missy, what are our things that we have to do in a certain order?

Chapter 5: How do the hosts choose their favorite books and reading habits?
What's an example of one for you, Kendra?
I recently tried to meal plan on a Friday instead of on Sunday afternoon. And it was what Missy said where it was like, this is so uncomfortable. Like my pants are too tight. Like it just was like, this is, it didn't feel right. And so I just decided this has got to be this. This is a Sunday afternoon task. This is not a Friday task. It does not belong on a Friday.
Nobody needs a meal plan on a Friday. But I also am so connected to my habits and routines. I'm sometimes too connected to them. And when I was thinking about this question, it made me think of things that I have done at different times on purpose just to like shake it up, you know? Yeah. So like working out at night instead of in the morning.
Chapter 6: What unique book exchange ideas do the hosts share?
Like the first time I went to the gym at 8.30 p.m., I was like, this is a whole other world. Look at all these people here. I can live wasted at 30. It's a whole different crowd. It was so bizarre. It was so bizarre. Or like baking at night. Like I think kitchen things, like after kids have gone to bed, that was sort of a different shift.
So I think it's a really great question because it illuminates both sides. You know, like some things, it's just keep the things where they are. They're so happy where they are. And then other things you go, actually, this is sort of a nice shake up. We're going to shake it up a little bit. What about you guys?
I'm like you, Kendra.
Chapter 7: How do the hosts balance their structured and spontaneous personalities?
I sometimes, I do intentionally shake something up because I don't want to become an inflexible person. Sure. I like the safety of my routines. I like the safety of my order, but I don't want to become a person that's like completely thrown off by change.
Lady, I must be so healthy for you.
It is something I love about our friendship, Angela, because you are very flexible and spontaneous. You're like, I'll do stuff whenever I feel like it, when I have the window of opportunity.
It's kind of true. But what's the thing you do, though, on a weekly basis, Jenna? Like, what's one of your rituals that you do at the same time?
Laundry on Fridays. I need to start the laundry process on Friday because I need it done by Monday. And if I start the laundry process even Saturday morning, we're not going to make it. It's like it's not enough time. Because I want everything in the drawers folded, put away by Sunday night.

Chapter 8: What are the hosts currently watching and reading?
So that everybody wakes up Monday morning with all the laundry. It's all clean. We're not looking for socks in the dryer as we're on our way out the door for school. I mean, I get that. And if I start it too early, then stuff is dirty again by Monday. So like my laundry is like very sacred.
Can I ask you a question about your laundry routine? How long do you think that you tried it out and found that boundary before you landed on, oh, I need to start on Friday night so that everything is done on Sunday evening?
I mean, my kids are 11 and 14 and I feel like I just figured this out last year.
I'm really glad that's your answer because I think too many people, they create something from scratch and they're like, this is going to work forever. And then they don't adjust it and find the thing. They don't find the limits that actually help them. And it sometimes takes actual years to learn it starts on Friday night and it ends on Sunday night. Like that's when laundry happens.
And so I actually kind of love that it took 11 to 14 years to figure it out.
But also the needs of your household changes. I mean... I have like adult humans now that I live with. I mean, they're still in high school, but they're like 17, you know, and they drive cars and craziness. And so I feel like some of our routines that we had when they were younger are totally different now because they drive themselves.
Like my mornings are so different because I don't do school drop off anymore. Like, they drive themselves. I mean, Josh and I have like a new morning together time that we haven't had. And I actually love it. We used to catch up at dinnertime. That's when we would come in and we'd start making dinner. And that's when we would chat about the day.
But now we kind of have this morning chat because we're not going... doing two different drop-offs and go in different directions depending on, oh, we have a kid at middle school, we have a kid at high school. Those are two different spots. Now the older kids drive everybody. It's amazing. So that's been really fun. But yeah, I'm not as structured as Jenna. I don't have certain days I do things.
I just do them when I see the need. which can make a structured person go a little berserk. My husband's very structured. So it's very funny to me because two of the people that are the biggest parts of my life, which is my best friend Jenna and my husband, are very similar in how they're like, this is the day that I make tacos, and this is the day that I make whatever it is.
