We all know that time has changed since this all started. Days drag, but weeks go by unseen. It’s only 49 days until the election. Fall is nearly here; winter is coming.

But then, for so many of us, the day is packed with endless things we need to do.

Things we can’t possibly get done in one 24-hour span.

So many people are working so hard to respond to changing business needs. At home, the workday has stretched to include pretty much every waking minute of our time — to become “living at work.” At the workplace, who knows what our days look like? Shifts change; commutes change; what’s safe to do changes, day by day by day. And for those people looking for work, the day is taken up looking for a job in a recession economy … and trying to navigate unemployment claims.

And then there are those of us who are taking care of other people.

You’ve heard this before. I’ve said this before. But it’s hard to find the words to really show how huge it is.

If you’re taking care of other people right now, I see you. I see how different your days are, how the time you didn’t have enough of before the pandemic is now just … gone. How hard it can be.

Women are spending far more time on unpaid work right now — and we were already spending far more time than men on this work before the pandemic.

Before the pandemic, mothers shouldered some 60% of child care. Now, 80% of women say they’re doing most of the housework and homeschooling, and 70% are doing most of the child care, according to a report last week by TIME’S UP.

Another report shows that women are spending seven more hours per week than men on child care and five more hours on caring for the sick and elderly.

Where does all that time go?
