Worksheet: Invisible Workload

Name the work your brain does before the work begins, and find one place to lighten the load.

You got through the day. Everything got done. And you’re lying on the couch wondering why it feels like you ran a marathon when all you did was go to work and buy groceries.

In this worksheet, you’ll map the hidden compensation work behind your visible tasks, spot which patterns drain the most, and pick one strategy to reduce the load this week.
