Something feels harder than it should.

Before you try harder, get clear about what's actually happening.

Sometimes the weight comes from what you're carrying. Sometimes it's how you're carrying it. And sometimes the conditions around the work are making it harder than it needs to be.

This isn't about whether you're capable enough.

The things we carry aren't all the same. Some are genuinely ours. Some need to be shared. Some are outside our control. Some may no longer belong to us. And sometimes the problem isn't the responsibility itself—it's what we're being asked to compensate for around it.

This short quiz can help you identify what may be contributing to the weight you're feeling and give you a clearer place to begin.
