I got this from my Long Covid doctor— Energy Conservation to Managing Chronic Fatigue One method that is helpful is the "four-P" approach to energy conservation: Planning, Pacing, Prioritizing, and Positioning Pace - Break activities up into smaller tasks and spread them throughout the day. - Try adjusting different parts of an activity to reduce the energy demands. - Build rests into your activities; they’re key to recharging your energy. - Stop, pause and rest between activities where possible. - Sit and rest wherever possible. Plan - Plan ahead as much as possible. - Create routines. - Spread activities out. - Keep items you need together and in easy reach. - Look for equipment to reduce effort. - Measure and track your energy use. Prioritize -Be kind to yourself and don’t try to do everything. -Create a balance of activities you need and want to do. -Delegate or drop tasks if you can. -Look for activities that make you feel energised. Positioning - Storing items at a convenient height to avoid excessive and prolonged stooping and stretching. - Make sure all work surfaces are at the correct height. If a counter is too short, slouching and bending can occur which results in more energy expenditure. - Use long-handled devices such as reachers or telescope cleaning tools to avoid unnecessary bending and reaching. - Facilitate bathing - use a shower seat and a hand-held shower head.
