Hello & Welcome

Hello and Welcome to the Boring Life Admin Newsletter. We are diving right in! Let me tell you what this is and what to expect: each newsletter will have one project designed to help you corral the Boring Life Admin in your life. We are talking: scheduling bills, making doctors appointments and confronting the looming pile of mail before it topples all over the kitchen table. I feel equipped to offer these ideas, tips and tricks because I am a project manager who sees a leaning tower of junk mail and also sees the 5 step process needed to sort through it. In my personal and professional life, I support others with these kinds of monotonous tasks. We live in a fast paced world with lots of responsibilities, and a seemingly endless list of horribly boring things to do. Let’s do what we can to make that list feel easily approachable and not so urgent and overwhelming that it takes time away from things we actually want to do! 

About the format: 

The Project: This will be a project that I break down into small steps. Don’t get overwhelmed if it looks like a lot of text! The projects are broken down into bites with bullet points so they can be as clear as possible. It takes more room on the “page” but should make the projects more manageable. Of course, how long these take is really hard to gauge, we all work at a different pace and don’t all have the same capacity. My goal is to create discreet projects someone could accomplish in one “focus block”. For me, that is about an hour that consists of 45 minutes of deep work and 15 minutes wrapping up. Some will be best approached as something to repeat when you can, until it is done. 

Quick Tasks: These are ideas aligned to the goal for the month that are only one or two steps and can be done in the moment without much prep. 

Tips & Tricks: Tools to support you as you work to accomplish your Boring Life Admin goals. 

As for the ideas that I will be sharing, these are methods I have discovered along the way, and might not work for everyone. Take what works for you and ignore the rest! I am not a certified coach, I am not a licensed therapist, this isn’t medical advice! Let’s do this!

If you want to continue to see these emails, add me to your trusted senders.

Look for the March email tomorrow!  

Love,

Bridge
