Maybe long-term exploitation is why we feel anxious about money.⁠
⁠
No maybe about it.⁠

MONEY, WOMEN AND CARE⁠
⁠
At the best of times, and always, there is a cultural expectation that women care. ⁠
⁠
That women care-give. ⁠
⁠
That women will lean in & help out & emotionally support & take care of everyone and everything.⁠
⁠
On the one hand, that's WONDERFUL. ⁠
⁠
Care is the glue that holds our societies, workplaces, families and relationships together. It is precious & ESSENTIAL and we should all be doing it (not just women). ⁠
⁠
Care &  caregiving is one of the most valuable skills anyone can possess and contribute.⁠
⁠
And yet...as a society, we devalue it. ⁠
We erase it from view. ⁠
We download it disproportionately onto the shoulders of women. ⁠
We make it a non-negotiable feature of being a woman. ⁠
⁠
Because this is a foundational belief of our society: that “Woman = uncompensated caregiver" and that women OWE their emotional labour and caregiving to the world.⁠
⁠
That belief is present all the time. It's especially intense during social crisis when the needs of others are multiplied.⁠
⁠
That's why we often see pushback on social media (and in our inboxes, ask me how I know) against women entrepreneurs --especially if you do care work like teaching or coaching -- who have the AUDACITY to promote their work or charge for their services *when people need them most*.⁠
⁠
How dare women ask for compensation when our collective unconscious belief about women dictates that they should be *volunteering* their care, time & services?! ⁠
⁠
If you are a women entrepreneur and receive that kind of pushback or outrage, please note that this is not actually about you, the quality of your work or your prices. ⁠
⁠
It is about the cultural mandate that women should care for free.⁠
⁠
And we get to reject it.⁠

Time to incubate an idea is essential for output…⁠
⁠
...and allowing yourself that time is NOT procrastination.⁠
⁠
And actual procrastination — as in, you have the idea fully cooked but do not want to sit your ass down and do it — might not always be a bad thing. ⁠
⁠
In fact, procrastination can be a source of good information. ⁠
⁠
In Antifragile, for example, Nassim Nicholas Taleb talks about the value of procrastination for a writer: ⁠
⁠
“If I defer writing a section, it must be eliminated. This is simple ethics: Why should I try to fool people by writing about a subject for which I feel no natural drive?”⁠
⁠
I’ve started using this as a point of discernment. ⁠
⁠
Sometimes I’ll outline a book or an essay…and then do.not.want.to.write one chapter or section. Often it’s a topic I feel obliged to cover rather than excited to consider. ⁠
⁠
In those instances, maybe my procrastination is instructive. ⁠
⁠
Maybe if I don’t want to write about it, maybe it’s not for me to write. ⁠
⁠
Maybe it doesn’t really need to be written by me nor included in my essay/chapter/blog post/book. ⁠
⁠
Maybe I need to reclaim and honour my no. ⁠
⁠
** No maybe about it.**⁠
⁠
So now, if I’m procrastinating hard on a topic and it’s not fear of going into hard places but simple nope-don’t-wanna-do-it, I delete that section or chapter or letter and move on to what does interest me and what I DO want to write. ⁠
⁠
Because procrastination can be GREAT information. ⁠
⁠
Listen to it. Leverage it.⁠ ⁠
