The Art of Life Admin

Description

A unique and insightful analysis of the scourge of modern life—admin—its forms, problems, and what we can do to reduce it.

The Art of Life Admin will give you many hours of your life back.

Scheduling doctor's 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 admin-happy 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.
