Sample: Pacing: the energy budget nobody taught me

Spoon theory gave me words for something I'd felt for years: every day starts with a limited budget, and everything costs something.

Three things that helped

  • Planning the big task for my best hour, not the first hour.
  • Sitting down for jobs I used to do standing.
  • Counting rest as part of the plan, not a failure of it.

It's not a cure. It's a kinder way to spend what I've got.
