Personal Report
Mental load is the thinking work that keeps things running for the people around you—i.e., planning, deciding, noticing what needs doing, and remembering. It's separate from hours worked, physical tasks completed, and emotions felt. This report reflects what you told us about that thinking work, split between home and work.
What this measures
This is thinking work, not how tired, stressed, or emotionally drained you feel, and not physical effort.
It's thinking work that benefits others, not tasks you do purely for yourself.
It's aimed at a specific, desired outcome, not idle or wandering thought.
