Description

This book will give you many hours of your life back.Timely and necessary . . . a mustread Cal Newport, author of Digital MinimalismScheduling doctors appointments. Planning a party. Buying a present. Filling out paperwork. These are the kind of secretarial and managerial tasks necessary to run a life and a household. Elizabeth Emens was a working mother with two young children, swamped like so many of us, when she realised that life admin was consuming her. Desperate to survive and to help others along the way, she gathered favourite tips and tricks, admin confessions, and the secrets of adminhappy households.Drawing on her research and writing in a wholly original manner, she shows how admin affects our lives how we might reduce, redistribute and even prevent it what admin personalities we might have and how to deal with it in relationships. The Art of Life Admin teaches us all how to do less of it, and to do it better.Examples from the book1) Find ways to make things end. For instance, try writing No Need to Reply (NNR) on texts and emails. Save others time they might even return the favour.2) Start bypassing the todo list when you face realtime admin requests. Email someone the information she wants while shes still standing there so it never goes on your todo list. 3) Spend your Admin Savings Time well. If you save yourself an hour, spend that hour doing something you really want or need for yourself.Reading The Art of Life Admin is like sitting down with a friend...
