In this episode, we talk to Columbia Law School professor Elizabeth Emens about the disproportionate way couples split up life administrative work.  She explains her research methods, the "sticky" nature of this type of work, and why it's often better to revert to paper and pen rather than a to-do list on your phone.  Later, we find out strategies on asking your partner for help.  Her new book is called 'Life Admin: How I Learned to Do Less, Do Better, and Live More'.
