Origin of the Book
- Elizabeth Emens' book, "The Art of Life Admin," stemmed from her personal struggle with invisible office work after her child's birth.
- Realizing it was a common issue, she started a research project, which expanded due to intense responses from others.
Defining Life Admin
- Life admin, invisible office-type work done unpaid at home, includes daily/monthly tasks, unexpected issues, and event-related work.
- Major life events, both happy (weddings, babies) and difficult (illness, death), often bring significant admin.
Consequences of Life Admin
- Life admin consumes time, increases stress, and has financial consequences.
- Forgetting to refinance a mortgage, for example, can lead to substantial financial losses.
