Carrying the mental load
The mental load involves constantly managing and delegating tasks, coordinating schedules, and providing emotional support within the household. This has historically predominantly fallen on women and though akin to paid project management at work, it is often undervalued at home. To help you cope with this cognitive labor and achieve a more equitable relationship with your partner, we've put together this Collection featuring content on housework, equality, and tools to improve your planning skills and mental resilience.
