If you constantly feel mentally exhausted or stressed at home trying to juggle life admin and cleaning, then you may be carrying too big a mental load.
Mental load is the unrecognized mental list of things (big and small) you need to get done to maintain order in your home. It often runs on autopilot in the background of your mind, never letting you have a break. If you try relaxing on the sofa but can't stop thinking about needing to get on top of laundry, take the trash out, and so on, this might be you.
