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.

Getting enough done isn't the same as getting everything done. With pacing, enough is the goal. #pacing #spoonie

For those who pace: what helped you most in finding your baseline? We're reading along. #pwME #pacing

The cost of a good day sometimes arrives two days later. So you don't plan for what you can do today, but for what you can sustain tomorrow and the day after. #pacing #MEcfs

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. pacely.com #MEcfs #LongCovid

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

A baseline isn't your maximum. It's how much you can do on an ordinary day without paying for it afterwards. #pacing #MEcfs

Pacing isn't taking it easy. It's spreading your energy across the day, so you don't pay later for something that felt fine in the moment. #pacing #MEcfs

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.

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

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.
