I'm Alec Bantel, founder of ACTIQO.

I write about the challenges modern families face managing kids' activities, youth sports, family coordination, mental load, and parenting decisions.

Through ACTIQO, I'm exploring a simple question:

How can families spend less time managing activities and more time enjoying them?

My writing focuses on the hidden work surrounding family life—the coordination, responsibilities, tradeoffs, and decisions that often go unnoticed but shape everyday experiences.

The activity lasts an hour. The coordination lasts all week.
