Putting Off A 10-Minute Task? What's Behind Your Life Admin Paralysis

by Mia Lee on Sep 14, 2022 Email Marketing 435 Views

Admin paralysis can strike in the most mundane situations. You might be a beacon of productivity at work, or queen of the Doodle poll in your social circle. But returning your Asos parcel on time? Impossible.

A year after moving house, I have finally registered at the local doctor’s surgery. The actual task – filling in a form at the reception desk – took no longer than five minutes to complete. Yet the idea of doing it has plagued me for months.

Logically, we all know that getting on with the job is the solution. So what’s behind this chronic procrastination for life’s boring jobs?

“Often life admin tasks are tiny in the bigger scheme of things, a quick phone call or dropping a return at the shop,” says psychologist and wellbeing specialist Lee Chambers.

“Despite being tiny, they have a tendency to keep popping into our mind and taking up our mental bandwidth. Unlike big tasks, they don’t require a massive commitment of time or energy, or feel so big it’s hard to know where to start.”
