Pacing Is A Skill, Not A Failure
Pushing through is the most expensive thing you can do. Pacing — doing a bit less than you feel you can — is one of the most evidence-backed strategies for living well with chronic fatigue.
- Break tasks into smaller chunks and rest between them.
- Plan a recovery day after anything demanding.
- Treat rest as productive — it's the work that makes the rest of your week possible.
- Notice the difference between fatigue, sleepiness, and overwhelm; each needs a different response.
