Recognizing Our Invisible Work With Janelle Wells, PhD and Doreen MacAulay, PhD

Aug 20, 2024

If you feel like your workday never ends, you aren’t alone! This week, host Paula Felps is joined by Janelle Wells and Doreen MacAulay, partners in the consultancy WellsQuest and authors of Our (In)Visible Work: How Everyone Everywhere Experiences It Every Day. Their work focuses on the effect of the unpaid work we do both on the job and at home, and they’re here to talk about how taking on these essential tasks can tax our time and lead to burnout, anxiety, and exhaustion — and how we can manage it better.  

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to define invisible work and determine where it lives.
  • Why identifying your priorities can change the way you approach your to-do list.
  • How to get help at work and home to share some of your invisible workload.
