Part One
First, let's just notice.
Mental load is mostly invisible — to others, and often to ourselves.
The first step is simply naming what's there, without judgment.
Recognition · 01
Which of these feel familiar lately?
Select any that resonate. There's no right number.
Recognition · 02
What feels the heaviest right now?
Choose the one that lands most.
Part Two
The texture of your days.
What we're tracking next is the load you can't see directly —
the cognitive layer underneath everything else.

In your own words.
Two short, open questions. There are no wrong answers —
and you can write as little or as much as feels right.
