In this episode, we talk about the mental load and household management. We get into how we each manage our households and what that looks like with our families. We also touch on kids’ chores, activities, and expectations.
The mental load is described as “the often invisible cognitive and emotional labor involved in managing a household and family, including planning, scheduling, and remembering tasks. It's the work of anticipating needs, making decisions, and ensuring everything runs smoothly.”
We came up with 5 ways that can help you lighten the mental load!
1. Family Planning Meetings
2. Visible To-Do Lists
3. Delegate Ownership, Not Just Tasks
4. Celebrate Small Wins
5. Model Asking for Help
Remember, you’re not weak for asking for help; you’re wise.
