Thank you for this information. That is a great idea. My Physical Therapist through the Long COVID clinic where I am a patient, advised doing no more than 20 minutes of activity at a time. I set a timer on my Amazon Echo. I do 20 minutes at a time on good days and less on others. Activity could be slowly walking around, doing dishes, etc. It all depends on the individual.

My daughter uses this tool - she is beyond 3 years with post-Covid syndrome. She is now up to 40 minutes active with a brief rest between sessions on good days.
I am a chronic pain person, with bad lungs to make things more fun. When I was recovering from a severe lung infection 4 years ago, my active periods were 10 minutes on, 20 minutes off - It took over a year to work up to a full hour without a pause. Now my "new normal" can be a full day (6-8 hours) of activity, IF it is followed by a low-key day. Relearned my lesson about "too much" last month with a lung exacerbation that laid me flat for over 2 weeks after I didn't follow my own rules.
So "less is more" is my new normal.
