The Mental Load Calculator

A Web App that makes the invisible work VISIBLE

You think you’re “just” packing lunches.
Or “just” booking a dentist appointment.

But one task carries more than you realize.

What’s Actually Inside One “Simple” Task:

• Planning
• Logistics
• Execution
• Follow-up
• Problem-solving

And you’ve been holding all of it.


What the Mom Brain Mental Load Calculator Does

The Mom Brain Mental Load Calculator helps you see what's actually inside the tasks you carry every day and assigns a simple load score so you can clearly see the mental weight of the task.

When invisible work becomes visible, you can:

• Communicate it clearly
• Share it intentionally
• Offload it with precision

Finally - a tool that communicates all that Moms manage.

Break down everyday responsibilities into the planning, logistics, and follow-through they truly require.

How to Use the Mom Brain Mental Load Calculator

  1. Access the calculator.
    Once you purchase, you’ll receive access to the Mental Load Calculator. 

  2. Enter one task you want to offload.
    Type in a simple responsibility—like making lunches, managing schedules, or handling school communication. Don’t overthink it. Just name the task the way you usually would.

  3. Let the calculator break it down.
    The app will generate a set of cards that reveal everything that task actually includes: the planning, logistics, execution, maintenance, and problem-solving that usually live invisibly in your head.

  4. Review the full breakdown and load score.
    You’ll see each part laid out clearly, along with a mental load score that reflects how much ongoing thinking and coordination the task requires. This isn’t about effort or productivity—it’s about mental energy.

  5. Use the cards to start a real conversation.
    The cards are designed to help you explain what “one task” really means. Instead of saying, “Can you make the lunches?”, you can share the breakdown and talk through which pieces can be shared, reassigned, or fully offloaded.

  6. Divide the work with clarity, not resentment.
    These cards give you language for the parts that are hardest to explain—the reminders, the monitoring, the decisions, the follow-up. They’re conversation tools meant to support clearer communication and more realistic division of labor.

You weren’t meant to carry all of this alone.

Use these cards to open honest, constructive conversations about sharing the mental load more fairly.
