About this event

The Adult Admin Club Grayslake body-doubling sessions return to Beer Bazaar on Monday November 9, and Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM! Stop letting your life administration tasks pile up and transform our taproom into your productive third space.

This isn’t a rigid workshop or a lecture. It is a casual body-doubling session designed to make getting things done feel achievable, social, and genuinely enjoyable.

Adult Admin Club Grayslake Event Schedule & Details

Life admin has a habit of expanding until it feels overwhelming. From unread emails and overdue medical appointments to tax forms, household bills, and travel booking, mundane tasks are easy to put off.

Adult Admin Club Grayslake offers a dedicated three-hour block to clear out your mental backlog in a relaxed, supportive taproom environment.

The Science of Body-Doubling & Third Space Productivity

If you struggle to tackle administrative tasks at home, you are not alone. Adult Admin Club Grayslake utilizes two proven psychological and sociological concepts to help you focus.

1. What Is Body-Doubling?

Body-doubling is a productivity strategy where working alongside other focused people increases individual motivation and task completion. Popularized within executive function and ADHD support communities, having a “body double” in the room creates subtle accountability.

When you see others quietly working on their laptops or organizing planners, your brain registers a shared focus zone. This lowers the friction of getting started and keeps you from getting distracted by household chores.

2. The Power of the “Third Space”

Sociologist Ray Oldenburg introduced the concept of the “Third Space”—a social environment distinct from home (first space) and work (second space).

While home is filled with domestic distractions and the office carries professional pressure, a craft taproom offers a neutral third space. The ambient energy, low-volume music, and change of scenery create the ideal backdrop for casual productivity.

2026 Planner & Journaling Station with Sam

A highlight of this month’s Adult Admin Club Grayslake sessions is our dedicated planner station hosted by Sam.

Whether you want to organize your remaining schedule or start setting up your 2026 planner, Sam will have a full setup of supplies available for participants:

• Provided Materials: Decorative tape, highlighters, fine-tip pens, task stickers, and organizational templates.

• Setup Assistance: Guidance on bullet journaling methods, monthly task spreads, and habit-tracking layouts.

• All Skill Levels Welcome: Whether you are an experienced bullet-journaler or opening a paper planner for the first time, you can drop by Sam’s station throughout the evening.

Working through a heavy task list is much easier with great refreshments. Beer Bazaar offers a broad menu designed for late-afternoon and evening focus:

Focus Drinks & Draft Lines

• Light & Session Craft Beers: Crisp Pilsners, session IPAs, and traditional German lagers for easy sipping.
