The real truth behind the famous scene from The Notebook? No, but forreal though....
Ever feel exhausted from making decisions all day? 🤯 Dive into our latest episode where we unpack decision fatigue, the mental load we carry, and how traditional gender roles play into it all. 🤔
🎙️ Highlights:
- The three categories of mental load:
- Emotional Burden: Emotional labor and empathy required to manage relationships and familial responsibilities ❤️
- Logistical Planning: Detailed planning and organization needed to orchestrate daily routines, tasks, and schedules 📅
- Cognitive Management: Mental capacity required to make decisions, solve problems, and multitask 🧠
- Understanding Decision Fatigue: The deteriorating quality of decisions made after a long session of decision-making. The more decisions we make throughout the day, the more mentally fatigued we become, impairing our ability to make good judgments and choices. This can lead to procrastination, impulsivity, or avoiding decisions altogether. 😓
- Exploring Gender Disparities in Mental Load:
- Women often take on more emotional and logistical responsibilities at home, managing children's schedules, meal planning, and household chores 🏠
- Men may face stress from societal expectations to be the primary breadwinner, adding a different type of mental load 💼
- Why women often struggle with deciding where to eat 🍽️
- How we can step up and assist 🤝
- Tech tips and apps to lighten your mental load 📱
Tune in to get actionable insights and start managing your mental load more effectively today! 💡✨
