1/3 My wife has been ill for almost a year. With her condition, doing more isn't recovery, it's a setback. #Pacing, spreading your energy, is what helps.
Everyone who paces runs into the word: baseline. What is it, and why does everything revolve around it? A short thread.
Your baseline is yours. It sits differently than someone else's, and it shifts with how you're doing. So you keep following it, it isn't a fixed goal.
In Pacely you choose a daily budget and see each day whether you're staying within your baseline. That way your baseline becomes something you can see, not something you have to guess.

On an ordinary Tuesday the question isn't "what do I want to do", but "what do I have left".

You hear it a lot with ME/CFS and long COVID: pacing. But what does it actually mean? A short thread.
It starts with a baseline: the level you can sustain without suffering for it. Staying under it works better than seeking your limit again and again.
This is how we look at a day at Pacely: activities have a weight, a day has a budget. You see as you go whether you're staying within your baseline.

With ME/CFS and long COVID, doing more isn't recovery. Pushing past your limit is often a setback, sometimes days later.

2/3 She looked for something that showed what she had left on an ordinary day. Something that told her: this looks like too much. It didn't exist.
3/3 So I built it. Pacely. First for her, now for others too. Do you know the condition, or live with it yourself? Send me a message, I'm glad to listen.
