You know those life admin tasks that are a step beyond basics like grocery shopping, paying bills, and taking out the trash? The things that you'd like to be doing more regularly, but when life gets busy they fall to the backburner. Things like checking in on your finances or reviewing your budget, sorting kid artwork, cleaning out your inbox, managing photos on your phone, or adding notes to a keepsake journal or memory book for your kids. All things that aren't necessary for daily life to run, but things that make you feel like you really have it together. I like to call these tasks "next-level adulting".   In this episode, I walk you through a monthly wrap-up process that I've been using for the last 5 months as a way to make sure I'm not forgetting about these "next-level" tasks. This wrap-up has also become a fun ritual that helps me review all the progress I've made and also appreciate life and the passage of time. I'm sharing exactly what's on my month-end checklist and tips for how you can create your own.       Key Takeaways: 01:52 What is "next-level adulting" and how to differentiate between daily admin and life admin 02:05 Introducing the Monthly Wrap-Up Process 08:12 Ideas for What to Include on a Monthly Wrap-up Checklist 18:39 Next Steps and Additional Support     Resources + Links: Podcast Episode 1 on To-Do Lists Podcast Episode 2 on Finding Time for Your Goals Planning Intensive Apply For Coaching Remarkable Everygirl tech backgrounds YNAB     Let's Connect on Social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovemothernurture/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themothernurture LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katelyndenning/ Website: https://www.themothernurture.com/

In this episode, Mia and Dinah interview Casper ter Kuile, author of The Power of Ritual and co-founder of The Nearness, about infusing meaning and ritual into daily routines to transform how we approach life admin tasks.The inspiration for his book, The Power of Ritual, came from his secular upbringing and his curiosity about intentional living. Casper highlights the need for intentional community-building in a world with fewer traditional religious structures. The conversation delves into the scarcity of meaningful rituals in modern life, with weddings becoming one of the few grand moments. Casper shares an example of his personal ritual, the "State of the Heart Order of the House" meeting, as a way to bring intentionality into daily life. Rituals are defined as habits with added layers of meaning, serving to remind us of what's important and fostering gratitude. Casper suggests reframing daily habits, like brushing teeth, with intentional practices to turn them into rituals. He suggests starting with habits that already have some joy or meaning. The three key steps to create meaningful rituals are: intention, attention, and repetition. Intention: Begin by understanding why you perform a certain task. What is the deeper purpose or meaning behind it? Attention: Pay close attention to the task at hand. Engage your senses, and be fully present during the ritual. Repetition: Establish a consistent rhythm for your ritual. It doesn't have to be daily; it can be weekly or as suits your lifestyle. Casper shares personal examples, like using a moisturizer application as a daily ritual for reflection. He highlights the importance of creating a communal aspect to rituals, where people can share their experiences and challenges. Find ways to make tasks less lonely by involving others, such as co-working sessions for administrative tasks. Rituals connect us and make us feel part of something bigger, even in a virtual setting. Consider how rituals can bring people together, foster support, and add meaning to routine tasks.

Frankly, life admin just makes me want to lie down. Which is why I'm excited to be interviewing my friend, Jessica Tudos, a mindful organizer based in Toronto whom I always love talking to about how to get a grip on the many facets of life while still respecting things like creativity and being moved by inspiration and having a lot of things going on because you're genuinely interested in a lot of things–something Jessica calls being multi-passionate. In today's episode, Jessica dishes up how she keeps all the details of life contained, and how you can do it, too, in a way that suits your personality and your life. I learned a ton!

This week on the podcast I'm talking about how to take better care of all the details of life–making appointments, paying bills, prepping your taxes, keeping your paperwork up to date, your car maintained, your communication handled, etc., etc., etc. In other words, I'm talking about adulting. And when I went to research this topic I realized it had a very technical sounding name: life admin.  Which simultaneously made me feel a mixture of grief and relief--a simultaneous feeling of, no wonder I've been feeling the way that I have, and, dang, I guess this is really a thing that must be reckoned with.
