Another blogpost I liked a lot by this OT who specialises in ME/CFS and long Covid.
Contains lots of practical tips. As she says, an emphasis is harm reduction rather than perfection

Headings:
1: Let’s start here: perfection is a myth (and honestly, a little rude).
2: Triage, a tool for days when everything feels urgent
3: Micro-recoveries (a tiny rebellion).
4: Positions matter more than you think
5: Help looks different when you don’t have a village.
6: Cognitive load counts too.
7: Lower the bar (I know, I know).
