I do things slowly. I have a housekeeper who comes every 3 weeks to do the heavy cleaning. Even at 89 I am able to take care of everything else by myself. I can still drive, and what is most important, I am able to drive on the freeway. I assign myself a task, and after it is done, I rest for a while. I try not to do too much in one day. So far it seems to be working.
