Desperate to survive and to help others along the way, she gathered favourite tips and tricks, admin confessions, and the secrets of admin-happy households.Drawing on her research and writing in a wholly original manner, she shows how admin affects our lives; how we might reduce, redistribute and even prevent it; what admin personalities we might have; and how to deal with it in relationships. The Art of Life Admin teaches us all how to do less of it, and to do it better. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Elizabeth F.
