ep 77 on organising life admin

Listen Later

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of interviewing Mia Northrup. Mia was on the podcast back in 2016 ep 13 and we talked about: 

  • Tips on redesigning your life
  • Tips on how to fit your personal creative pursuits into your day
  • Tips on returning to work part time
  • Working on friction points in the family
  • Encouraging creativity in kids

    • Much has changed for Mia since then. In the last five years, Mia has separated from her partner, moved to full time work, started a successful podcast and published a book! This gave us plenty to talk about. Areas we covered in the podcast were:

    • Creating a co-parenting system that worked for her family
    • Tweaking life admin processes and systems to cater for their new arrangements
    • Managing the logistics of a week on week off arrangement for her and the kids
    • What her on week meal planning looks like and what the off week looks like
    • How Mia transitions between the on and off weeks
    • Making the time to write a book while working full time
    • Where to start if with life admin
    • Why it isn’t just us – the reasons why there is so much more life admin now
    • Systems that help you share the load of life admin
    • The power of checklists to save you time
    • The hour of power and how it can transform your approach to life admin
    • Where to start if you feel like you are drowning in life admin

      • I recommend having some note paper handy and Mia has so many excellent tips you will want to write them all down!
