If you’re married or share a household with someone, you’ll want to make sure everyone is on the same page regarding life admin. Perhaps the best way to do this, is to institute a weekly marriage meeting.

Perform an audit of the life admin you’re currently doing on the regular. Are there some tasks that create life admin that isn’t necessary and could be eliminated? Are there some things you could automate where you can set something up once and then never have to think about it again?

Sethi recommends setting up a system where your paycheck is automatically put into your checking account, and then portions of it are automatically funneled into several sub-accounts that you’ve designated for different purposes.

If you’re thinking about acquiring a new car, appliance, pet, ect., don’t just think about the upfront purchase price, but also about the admin costs that will come with taking care of that addition to your life in the years to come.

Only outsource when the result is a true savings in time/mental bandwidth.
