FRAMEWORK

Overfunctioning Framework

A lens that can make you take on more responsibility, effort, or emotional labor than is yours to carry.

REFLECTION

THE PREMISE

If I do not take responsibility for this, it may not happen — or things may fall apart.

WHAT IT CAN LOOK LIKE

You may initiate, organize, remind, solve, anticipate, manage, rescue, or carry responsibilities another capable person could participate in themselves.

WHERE FRICTION CAN DEVELOP

You can become so focused on keeping something functioning that you lose the opportunity to see whether it functions without your effort.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO NOTICE

Notice where helping has quietly become carrying.

What information might I receive if I stopped doing the part that is not actually mine?

YOUR FRAMEWORKS MAY CHANGE BY CONTEXT

You may operate through one framework in your relationships and a very different one with work, finances, family, health, or yourself. The Framework Assessments are an opportunity to see what may be especially active in a specific area of your life right now.
