ITUNES | SPOTIFY

You know those life admin tasks that are a step beyond basics like grocery shopping, paying bills, and taking out the trash? The things that you'd like to be doing more regularly, but when life gets busy they fall to the backburner. Things like checking in on your finances or reviewing your budget, sorting kid artwork, cleaning out your inbox, managing photos on your phone, or adding notes to a keepsake journal or memory book for your kids. All things that aren't necessary for daily life to run, but things that make you feel like you really have it together. I like to call these tasks "next-level adulting".

In this episode, I walk you through a monthly wrap-up process that I've been using for the last 5 months as a way to make sure I'm not forgetting about these "next-level" tasks. This wrap-up has also become a fun ritual that helps me review all the progress I've made and also appreciate life and the passage of time. I'm sharing exactly what's on my month-end checklist and tips for how you can create your own.
