Women amaze me

You’re measuring yourself by output,
but your life is also loaded with invisible jobs.

The jobs nobody gives you credit for.
The jobs that don’t show up on a calendar.
The jobs that chew up your brain space and then have the audacity to ask for more brain space.

So if you’re in that “i can’t do this” spiral, try this instead of shaming yourself:

Write down the invisible jobs.
Not goals. Jobs.
Examples: remembering, managing, anticipating, soothing, planning, cleaning, scheduling, worrying.

Circle the ones you are doing out of habit, not necessity.

Pick ONE job you’re done being manager of.
Not forever. Just for now.
Hand it off, simplify it, or let it be “good enough” on purpose.

Because the truth is:
you’ve been doing it.
You’ve BEEN doing it.

The problem isn’t that you “can’t.”
It’s that you keep trying to do it all without taking yourself seriously as a person who needs support too.

And yeah.
That ends today.
Yes yes YESSSSS.
