Our time is a finite resource so it makes sense to treat it with a high value, yet so often we can get caught in the trap of using a lot of our time to manage and solve small recurring life admin problems at home. When we are inefficient with our most precious resource of time, it leaves us with less opportunities to fuel up ourselves and our relationships. Designing and implementing a few key systems at home can streamline and improve our overall life and wellbeing. Mia Northrop shares insights and inspiration on life admin and the mental load. Her work explores how to use everyday digital tools and principles from time management, productivity and behavioural science to streamline, automate and reduce paperwork and optimise your approach to household organisation.

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.

Most guests on How I Work will tell you to turn off your phone if you want to get work done. They'll probably tell you to leave it out of the bedroom when it's time to sleep, and to keep it out of reach when you're meant to be spending quality time with friends and family.  It's easy to forget sometimes just how useful that little super computer in your pocket can be - and that applies to life admin, too! Life Admin Hacks authors Mia Northrop and Dinah Rowe-Roberts put me onto the untapped power of Siri, and I've never looked back. And now they're teaching you how to use it, too.  If you've never used Siri for anything other than a Google search while your hands are full, you're missing out on an on-demand, high-powered digital assistant.

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be?“We want to talk about sharing the life admin load in a partnership - being aware of how you're contributing to dysfunction and letting go of unsustainable standards. Tied into this is budgeting/outsourcing and people's irrational money stories and money types - trying to do it all rather than asking for and buying help.” _______________ Mia Northrop and Dinah Rowe Roberts first met at high school in Melbourne. They studied together at university and remained fast friends through marriages, dynamic corporate careers in London, Dubai, New York and Vancouver, and the arrival of children. Their combined experience in senior strategy, commercial, digital and customer experience roles did nothing to prevent the onslaught of life admin, which became their passion to solve. Today, Dinah & Mia coach, write, speak and facilitate workshops about life admin, and together they host the podcast ‘Life Admin Life Hacks'. They recently released a book - of course called ‘Life Admin Hacks' where Mia and Dinah have marshalled their professional expertise in innovation, finance, design thinking and operations to research best practices, trial the tech and craft the most efficient processes to optimise their own life admin. The result? No more overwhelm, way more spare time and thousands of dollars saved.

There's heaps to do, but you're a professional! You have systems and processes in place to make sure you don't forget anything important, to make sure you're consistently progressing towards your goals for the year. So why don't we take the same approach when it comes to our goals and responsibilities and home?

Who else feels the weight of the life administration burden? For me, two businesses, two kids under 13, one busy husband, and my own needs and goals in fitness, academics, so-called work/life balance, and beyond often seem to be a bit much to triumph over consistently and also get some decent sleep.   Enter Dinah Rowe-Roberts. She is a streamlined, systemizing and time and money savior! After her second child was born, she found herself overwhelmed with paperwork, complicated logistics, and to-dos. She knew she needed a new approach and so together with an old friend Mia Northrop they decided to conquer the problem and the Life Admin Life Hacks podcast was born. Their mission is to minimize, automate, share and delegate life admin.   This experience has now resulted in a book - Life Admin Hacks, a step by step guide to: saving time and money, reducing the mental load, and streamlining your life  which was published by in January 2022. She has an accounting and finance background and was previously a Director at PwC and the Chief Operating Officer for a national mental health provider. So. let's get her nuggets of gold as we discuss The Politics of Life Admin.   In this episode, you can hear: What is the #1 life admin task Dinah avoids and why? The mental load is talked of a lot, and especially for modern mothers. How does that ongoing flurry of “things to do, places to be” impact our effectiveness to get anything done and how can we change that load? Online tools are great but there are lots out there - how do you find the best ones that suit your needs and goals? How can people become better at saving money or spending less? Decluttering is easy for some, but it is mostly boring and hard for some of us. Do you advocate for professionals to come in? Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Life Admin?   To connect more with Dinah: W: https://www.lifeadminlifehacks.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/life-admin-life-hacks

Does the mental and emotional load of family life leave you exhausted? Mia Northrop joins us on today's episode to talk about life admin–think those personal and household administrative tasks–and life hacks for busy moms. She knows the overwhelm of trying to manage all the things. Now, she helps families and employees streamline their life admin so they can win back more free time and mental space, save money, and nurture household harmony. Mia Northrop is a trained coach, cohost of the Life Admin Life Hacks podcast and coauthor of the brand new book Life Admin Hacks. After a diverse and dynamic career in Melbourne, London and New York, she was on the cusp of burnout and partnered with a longtime school friend, also juggling work and home, to find a better way for themselves and other working parents.
