@becsbuddy Oh, yes, it does relate to my issues in the past, and currently! I still think of the got-to list, and have learned to be very forgiving of my energy levels. Throw in bad air quality from the fires now, and my energy can go from pretty good to uh-oh. I still leave plenty of time to get somewhere, so I can rest along the way if needed. Making sure I am hydrated is also a big key.

I do plan my day and much of my week, front loading activities like exercise, house and yard work, and as much of my professional work as possible earlier in the day, before fatigue and pain advance too much. While I may not complete everything each day, I can feel like I’ve accomplished at least what I could. And, planning certainly helps keep me on task and focused on the essential things.
Oh yes naps make a big difference. I tried not to nap so I can sleep at night. Still cannot sleep. So if I do get a nap or two in that is better than no sleep at all.
