Reading this book should be at the top of your To Do list. Life Adminwill give you many hours of your life back.

Every day an unseen form of labor creeps into our livesstealing precious moments of free time, placing a strain on our schedules and our relationships, and earning neither appreciation nor compensation in return. This labor is life admin: the kind of secretarial and managerial work 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 realized that this invisible labor was consuming her. Desperate to survive and to help others along the way, she conducted interviews and focus groups to gather favorite tips and tricks, admin confessions, and the secrets of admin-happy households.

Life Admintackles the problem of admin in all its forms, from everyday tasks like scheduling doctors appointments and paying bills, to life-cycle events like planning a wedding, a birth, a funeral.

Emens explores how this labor is created, how it affects our lives, and how we might avoid, reduce, and redistribute admin whenever possibleas individuals and as a society.

Life Adminis the book that will teach us all how to do less of it, and to do it better.
