If you’ve been on TikTok recently, or even just chatting with friends , you might’ve spotted a new type of party emerging.
The ‘Admin Night’ 🎉
Also known as the “admin party,” it’s a moment where people gather (virtually or in person) to tackle what we at Doqit call the hidden load - life admin.
Think:
→ Bills
→ Renewals
→ Budgeting
→ Filing paperwork
→ Subscriptions
→ Insurance
Suddenly, social feeds are full of admin checklists, productivity playlists, and matching snacks. But behind the fun and novelty, something much deeper is going on.
From Mashable and The Independent to CNN and The Week, the press isn’t just noticing; they’re calling it a full-blown behaviour shift.
And we agree.
But not because admin is suddenly exciting.
Because admin is too overwhelming to manage alone.
What People Are Really Saying
What’s striking is how people describe the feeling after an admin night.
They don’t say, “I feel so productive.”
→ They say, “I feel lighter.”
Not “caught up”
→ but “clearer.”
Not “organised”
→ but… less mentally cluttered.
That’s the clue. Because what admin nights are really showing us is this:
The real drain isn’t the admin itself; it’s the mental load we're all carrying around it.
Our brains are constantly tracking insurance expiry dates, school forms, paperwork waiting to be scanned, bills waiting to be reviewed, plans we meant to finalise… and more.
When people need a theme night and social support just to face what used to be individual tasks, that’s not a failure of motivation ... it’s a sign the system is broken.
And we’re here to fix that💪
Why Doqit exists
We built Doqit because life admin shouldn’t require a party to be manageable.
It should just work - quietly, intuitively, and without asking you to remember everything.
And we're constantly improving what that looks like, thanks to feedback from our wonderful users. Two of the most recent additions are all about lightening that mental load even further:
✨ Smart Scanning
Upload a document (passport, insurance, MOT logbook - anything) and Doqit automatically pulls out the key info. You just set your reminder. No more data entry. No more typos.
🔗 Secure Sharing
Need to send a policy to your partner? A SEN document to a childcare provider? Share what you like, with who you like. for as long as you like.
You can even set time or view limits for extra peace of mind.
Together, these features mean less thinking, less double-checking, and less of that weight we all quietly carry.
Because confidence isn’t always about doing more - it’s about knowing you’ve already handled what matters most.
🎉 Hosting an admin night?
If admin parties help you finally feel on top of things, we say go for it (add nice candles, decent snacks, and maybe even a glass of wine). But if you’d rather have a system that makes them feel… unnecessary, we’re here for that too.
Doqit remembers what matters , so you don’t have to.
