? for other disabled folks (esp w ME/CFS): How do you estimate spoons available for the day? Or do you?
I need a better way than “Do things until PEM, then one thing less.” Timeboxing stuff pomodoro style kinda helps but doesn’t factor how much I must:
• move my arms
• sit up
• stand up
• walk
• climb stairs
• lift >5 lbs
• focus mentally
• do emotional work
• travel
• be in crowds
…or combinations of above
ANY resource links, tips, recommendations?

I try (and often fail) to have the baseline routine at a level that I know I can do without worsening. Then I gauge the impact of things based on how far they are from the baseline routine.
Add 10% to my daily PT? DO NOT modify any other part of baseline.
Swap new movie for cartoon I've seen 10 times? Go to bed early.
More meetings than usual? Compensate with soup instead of sandwich for lunch (extra salt/fluids).
