I really take notice to what I do and what the effect is the next day and then adjust. For example I felt really good one day and went on the tredmill for 45 minutes. I felt awful the next day so I limit myself to 30 minutes.
I keep a log of my activity and how I feel so I can see what makes me feel bad.
It can be very challenging to find your balance, I suggest you see an OT or a Physio to help you find your limits so you don't do more harm than good. I eventually managed to get to a ration of 1 hour of activity to 3 hours of rest, but this took over 2 years to achieve.
I do small activities and take a rest in between.
If I do laundry, I sit and rest , I do online shopping for groceries rather than go to the shop, it exhausts me.
Yesterday I did some ironing...... result..... in bed by 4pm😱

Good idea...I think that I’m going to be like. 🐶
