Ever felt like your to-do list is a never-ending marathon, especially when it comes to managing family schedules, appointments, and daily chores? This episode tackles the invisible yet heavy mental load that predominantly affects women and primary caregivers. I'm bringing attention to how current productivity solutions often fall short in addressing this burden. Real-life scenarios like planning summer breaks, scheduling orthodontist appointments, and ensuring pet care contingency plans are dissected to demonstrate this imbalance. Instead of the common advice to delegate tasks, I propose a radical shift—transferring ownership. By completely shifting the responsibility, you'll discover how it frees up your mental space and reduces stress, bringing a sense of balance and calm to your life.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What mental load is and examples
  • Transfer of ownership vs. delegation of tasks
  • How to actually transfer ownership of tasks
