Kendra Adachi 认为时间管理和生产力领域普遍存在一种误区，即人们必须在"超级成功者"和"一团糟"之间做出选择。她提出了"富有同情心的时间管理"的概念，主张人们应该专注于真正重要的事情，并在其他事情上适度放手，在追求卓越和满足感之间取得平衡。她认为，大多数时间管理建议都过于关注"变得更好"，而忽略了与当前生活和谐相处的重要性。她提出了"整合"的概念，即在当下找到平衡，珍惜当下，而不是一味追求未来目标。她还强调了女性在时间管理方面面临的独特挑战，因为她们通常承担着比男性更多的家庭责任，而现有的时间管理建议往往没有考虑到这些因素。她认为，女性不应该被期望在所有事情上都力求完美，而应该允许自己有不足之处。她还介绍了她的新书《The Plan》，其中提出了一个时间管理框架，包括准备、调整和注意三个方面，帮助人们更好地管理时间，并与当前生活和谐相处。 Cal Newport 对 Kendra Adachi 的观点表示赞同，并分享了他自己从追求卓越到追求整合的经历。他认为，在追求卓越的过程中，人们容易迷失自我，而追求整合则能够让人们更好地与自身和周围环境和谐相处。他指出，许多时间管理建议过于关注效率和优化，而忽略了人们的心理需求。他认为，在时间管理中，灵活性和适应性比精确的计划更重要。他还谈到了男性主导的时间管理建议如何忽视女性的独特需求，并强调了女性在家庭和工作中所承担的双重责任。
