"I sent out invites on Partiful with a link to an article about admin nights, and people were game. Several people thought it was really funny, and some had clarifying questions, like whether they could do actual work. I didn't want people to feel like they were extending their workday at my house, but I didn't set a ground rule."
"Coming out of Thanksgiving, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed. I had put off a lot of tasks that I had been wanting to do, and I felt like I hadn't seen a lot of my friends in a while. An admin night seemed like the perfect way to combine both of those activities, so I decided to host one. People are already texting me about when the next one will be."
Molly Ward hosted an admin night in Washington, DC, inviting friends to work through personal to-do lists together. The event combined productivity with social connection and helped attendees clear mental clutter after Thanksgiving. Invitations were sent via Partiful, and about 12–13 people attended, creating a cozy, college-dorm atmosphere with limited seating. Guests were encouraged to dress comfortably and bring snacks. The host kept the event low-lift and avoided strict rules about work versus chores. The gathering fostered accountability and community, and strong interest prompted plans for future admin nights.
