Tribu Tribu

An invitation, for your community

Would your kinder or school like to be involved in a Back Burner (aka admin night)?

I'd love to bring one to your parents.

Your 45-second video sits here.

I'm Katie, mum to Charlie and Olive. Like many parents I know, I ended up being the one in our house who knew where everything was; the kids' details, the policies, the renewal dates, the myGov info.

That's not a system. That's one person's memory, and a whole sorry collection of scattered places.

So I'm building Tribu to fix it. And while I build it, I've been getting parents together to do the admin we're all avoiding.

Maybe you're wondering why I'm doing this?

Life admin is unsexy and boring. I must be bonkers, but I've become completely obsessed with making it less so.

I'm building Tribu because I think it will genuinely take weight off parents; the mental load of being the one who knows where everything is, what's due, what's lapsed, and what you've been meaning to sort for months.

That's the product.

This night is the other half of it. If the admin has to get done anyway, I'd rather we did it together, with a drink, than alone at 11pm feeling behind.

If your parents leave having ticked a few things off their lists, had a laugh, connected with each other and learned something new, that's a win.

The idea is simple; everyone comes with three things they've been meaning to sort (aka the tasks they've put on their back burner!).

Tasks that can actually be done outside business hours.

Think:

  • myGov checks and updates
  • enrolment forms
  • insurance reviews or comparisons

I can't imagine it would take your parents long to conjure their lists!

How the night runs

I host the evening for you, so there's nothing for you to do on the night except your To-Do list!

Parents arrive, grab a drink and settle in. Then everyone opens a laptop and we go quiet for a defined period whilst we work on our tasks.

We break, nibble, connect, and do another session.

The breaks are where it gets good. Someone works out how to do a thing and tells everyone else. They learn something, they act on it that night while they have the momentum, and they learn from each other as they go.

What it costs

Nothing. I'm building Tribu, and these nights are how I learn what families are actually stuck on.

All I'd ask is ten minutes on the night to tell your parents what I'm building, and for them to fill out a quick survey at the end. Nobody has to sign up to anything.

What I'd need from you

  • a date that works for you
  • a room with wifi, power, and tables and chairs for guests to work at
  • ten to twenty parents, and a hand getting the word out

Tea, wine, or whatever your policy allows. I'll follow your lead, and I'm very happy to bring it and some nibbles.

Parents just BYO to-do list, laptop and charger.
