Therapist explains 'Admin Nights' hack for turning tedious 'to do' lists into a brilliant game night

It can be hard to commit to the routines of exercise, housekeeping, and the other to-dos of your day-to-day life, but for many people the hardest part is the “household admin work.” This is the boring, drudging, and often bureaucratic tasks of answering emails, paying bills online, cancelling subscriptions, making appointments, etc. But what if you could make it a party?

This concept has led to a growing trend called “Admin Nights” in which people gather their friends together for snacks, drinks, and hanging out while working on administrative household tasks. Admin Nights have quickly turned the chore of household admin work into a weekly or monthly chill hangout with friends.

'Magical' clip showing octopus communicating with scientist is just incredible

Octopuses are often described as "alien." As marine biologist Dr. Alex Schnell explains, the description fits. "They're just so alien—they have three hearts that pump blue blood, no bones, and skin that can change color in an eye-blink," she recently told Newsweek.

But as the National Geographic series Secrets of the OctopusSecrets of the Octopus reveals, these creatures are far from unfeeling. A clip from the show highlighting Schnell's "magical experience" is capturing the public's imagination, revealing an intelligence that rivals more familiar mammals.

Hospital staff breaks out X-ray machine in Hail Mary to save woman's missing wedding rings

Most people have lost an item or accidentally left something behind, like their car keys, phone, or purse. But for Susan Sinnwell, a simple medical visit to a local Iowa hospital turned into a trash treasure hunt for her grandparents’ wedding rings. When all seemed lost, hope was found, along with the rings, thanks to a portable X-ray machine.

Sinnwell was visiting Grundy County Memorial Hospital for an X-ray and removed her grandparents’ wedding rings for the procedure. It wasn’t until the day after her visit that she realized the rings she had wrapped in a napkin were missing. She then realized she accidentally tossed the wrapped napkin with the heirloom rings into a trash bin before leaving the hospital.

Doctor says 'temptation bundling' can help cement good habits and make chores enjoyable

Forming good habits and sticking to them requires time, dedication, and consistency. Anyone who has tried to stick to a New Year's resolution, health plan, or other self-improvement goal knows it is not easy. You would probably rather spend your time catching up on your favorite reality TV show, playing games on your phone, or doing something you would actually enjoy. Well, one doctor and her peers say, "Why not do both?"

On social media, Sohee Carpenter, a fitness coach with a PhD in sports science and an MS in psychology, recommended a technique known as "temptation bundling," which pairs less enjoyable habits or chores with something you enjoy to make them easier to complete.

Parents told rent-paying daughter to move out. But then they realized everything actually belonged to her.

When a tenant moves out, they generally take their property with them. Apparently, one set of parents didn't get that memo.

A 25-year-old woman recently took to Reddit (u/TAMovingout) to share a satisfying story of malicious compliance. After her parents asked her to move out so they could have "alone time," they were shocked to discover that the luxury features of their home were leaving with her.

When do Americans actually lose their virginity? This chart might surprise you.

The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) has long provided the gold standard for data on when Americans first have sex. While the numbers themselves, typically averaging around age 17, might not seem shocking, seeing them visualized reveals a distinct "sexual timeline" of American life.

Nathan Yau of FlowingData took the massive datasets from the CDC-overseen survey (specifically the 2013–2015 files) and visualized the age of "sexual debut." The result is a chart that changes how we view this major life milestone.

In 1964, Wizard of Oz co-stars Judy Garland and Ray Bolger reunited for a profound interview

The Wizard of Oz is one of those iconic, all-time cinema classics that you probably feel like you've seen 100 times even if you've never actually watched the movie. With iconic characters like the Wicked Witch, Toto, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Glinda, Auntie Em, The Wizard, and Dorothy etched into our collective memory, there's a reason it is considered one of the most influential moves ever made nearly 100 years after it premiered.

Back in 1964, Judy Garland and Ray Bolger, who plays an unforgettable Scarecrow, found time to reconnect on The Judy Garland Show. Captured 25 years after the release of the movie, the two Hollywood Legends remembered that movie through a strikingly meaningful conversation that echoes with depth 60 years later.

A racist slur on an oil change sticker led to an unbelievable act of kindness

When 33-year-old Mikayala Starks took her vehicle for a routine oil change at Kunes Buick GMC in Oak Creek, she was left devastated by an employee's hateful act.

As she recalled to PEOPLE, it wasn't until later that day that she looked at the service sticker and made a shocking discovery. “While they were supposed to be servicing my car, an employee typed up a racial slur [the n-word] and put it in the comment section of my oil change sticker,” Starks said.
