あらすじ・解説
Melissa shares a personal story about feeling overwhelmed trying to balance her career and family responsibilities. She would take on most of the household and childcare tasks in addition to her demanding job.
This led to burnout and conflicts with her husband. They made a list of all the tasks and divided them more evenly between them. Over time, they also delegated age-appropriate chores to their kids.
A year and a half ago, her husband left his job to work for their business. He now handles the majority of household tasks. Melissa realized recently that she no longer thinks about or remembers many of those tasks because they are fully off her plate.
She explains that when responsibilities are not part of your routine, they fall out of your mind. She encourages listeners to delegate tasks that don't belong to them. It takes time, but you may not even remember what you used to do with them.
