There are certain jobs we’re very good at putting off. Sorting out the kitchen cupboard. Deleting the 4,000 screenshots on our phones. Finally working out what that mystery debit order is. Then there’s life admin

It might not feel urgent when everything is going well, but getting a few important things organised now can save Future You and the people you love a lot of stress later.

Now, here’s a challenge: Set a timer for 30 minutes and see how much you can tick off. We think you might surprise yourself!

1. Check your important documents

Do you know where your ID, passport, birth or marriage certificates and other important documents are?

Create one secure place for important paperwork, whether that’s a physical file, secure digital storage or a combination of both. Make sure someone you trust knows where to find the essentials if they ever need them.

2. Create or review your Will

A Will allows you to record how you want your estate handled and who should benefit from it. It can also make an already difficult time a little easier for the people you leave behind.

MiWayLife can help you create a Will and store it safely, giving you one less piece of life admin to worry about.

Already have one? Check whether it still reflects your current circumstances and wishes.

3. Get a life insurance quote

You don’t have to buy life insurance in the next 30 minutes, but you can use our handy life insurance calculator to find out how much life cover you’d actually need.

Next, in just a couple of minutes, you can get a MiWayLife life insurance quote.

All MiWayLife life insurance policies also include an Accelerated Funeral Benefit, designed to assist with funeral-related expenses. So you can help protect your loved ones financially while taking care of two important pieces of life admin with one policy.

4. Look at funeral cover too

If you’re not looking for life insurance but would still like to make sure your family has some financial help when it comes to funeral costs, MiFuneral could be just what you need.

As MiFuneral is digital-first, you can buy it online with just a few clicks and, as don’t have to pay for a broker or administration fees, you get to enjoy a more affordable premium. You also get to select your cover amount and can choose to cover yourself, your immediate family, or even extended family members.

Get an obligation-free quote in just minutes and see what cover could work for you and your family.

5. Do a quick digital clean-up

Your digital life could probably use a little admin too.

Delete apps you no longer use, unsubscribe from unnecessary emails and check that your important accounts have strong, unique passwords. It’s also worth making sure your phone and computer are backed up and that your emergency contact details are current.

Just remember: don’t leave passwords, PINs or sensitive banking information somewhere that others can easily access.

The Bottom Line

Life admin is easy to postpone, but a little time today could save you and your loved ones stress later.

Start with the important stuff. Create your Will, organise your documents and get a quick quote for life or funeral cover. You might be pleasantly surprised by how affordable MiWayLife and MiFuneral cover can be.

And just like that, in 30 minutes, you’ve got a better handle on adulting. Future You can take it from here.
