   • 2019, Elizabeth F. Emens, Life Admin: How I Learned to Do Less, Do Better, and Live More‎^[1], Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, page 8:

     Some life admin involves doing the same things that are done in an office. Other admin is merely analogous to office work. For instance, making a grocery list or planning a child's birthday party is not precisely an activity that would be done in the workplace.

   • 2019, Alexandra Jones, “'I feel bombarded with to-dos': the hell of life admin – and how to get on top”, in The Guardian‎^[2]:
