## Resource

You finally get a quiet half hour. Instead of using it, you go over everything you should be doing until the time is gone. Or you take the time, but it feels borrowed the whole way through, and you quietly pay it back afterward. This episode looks at where that guilt comes from and why it doesn't ease up no matter how much you already give. It also covers what researchers found when they followed working parents day by day, including what personal time does for you and the people at home. The guilt is real. It just isn't measuring what you think it is. Follow 7 Good Minutes for new episodes every day.
