It's Invisible Work

Daily Dad
About this episode

It would be nice if the work we did at home was as clear as the work we do at, well, work. At the office, the number of hours matters. At the office, you have metrics to hit. You have a quantifiable output. You have someone who can tell you–the boss, your customers–whether you’re doing a good job or not.

But at home? With our kids? It’s so much trickier.
