i am also a sewer; i like the spooning idea. like you, i have limited energy. making coffee is hard. i do try to buy myself things to make my life easier. and showers are exhausting. laundry too!! i may have to find a quicker coffeemaker.
i chop things a lot so i bought a huge knife. online shopping is tough for finding good sizes. i also get some help.

@kforrest As a fellow sewer and crafter, one of the things that works for me to having my different crafts organized in totes or boxes. That way it is easy to pull things out to work on without spending a lot of time getting super organized to proceed. That getting set up can be a deal breaker and deplete my energy. For example, my go-to sewing machine, an older Kenmore portable, is set up on my table with a cover over her. All I need to do is pull that cover off and ready to go. The scissors/thread/pins/markers/rulers are in a plastic tote next to my work station so just put the lid on and done. I keep a supply of bobbins wound and ready.
Don't be afraid to make adjustments as needed, for daily chores. Opening bottles and cans is getting to be more awkward, so I have found some work arounds.
