As someone who has studied cognitive household labor in my lab, I really appreciated this piece, especially the idea of equal access to planned leisure!

Thank you! I’m only speaking from experience, but as a data analyst in my past life, it’s a big compliment coming from you. The research turns the stories into policy (well, hopefully)!
