TMB STUDIO R aise your hand if you’ve been putting off canceling subscriptions, setting up doctor portals or disputing insurance claims. About 8 in 10 of Austra- lians admit to procrastinating on basic life admin tasks such as these, in part because they can drag you down with resetting long-forgotten passwords or simply spending an eternity on hold. Enter “admin night,” a social occasion that injects some fun into these often stressful solo chores by making them a group activity. Friends bring bills, school forms and—ideally—snacks to their meetups so they can tackle these time-consuming to-do’s together and build on each other’s momentum. Because as great as it feels to clear these things from your plate, it feels even better when you get to high-five someone right after.
