Admin Energy. I’d like to think I’m coining a new phrase!

Oxford Languages defines admin as the administration of a business, organization, etc.

Oxford Languages defines energy as the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.

My definition of Admin Energy: (noun) the capacity for, motivation for, and execution of administrative office tasks.

I’ve developed a scale to gauge Admin Energy –

High: above average capacity for, motivation for, and execution of administrative office tasks. The visual I describe as doing the work like a hummingbird – exerting a frenzy of energy followed by rest.

Medium: average capacity for, motivation for, and execution of administrative office tasks. The visual I describe as doing the work like an ant – exerting energy at a persistent, moderate pace. 

Low: low capacity for, motivation for, and execution of administrative office tasks. The visual I describe as doing the work like an inchworm – exerting energy at a slower pace. 

On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest – what’s your Admin Energy?
