Daily Life Tools

What are you trying to make easier today? Choose the difficulty, answer two quick questions and find a realistic place to start.

The useful next step may be smaller than the whole task.

Everything feels like too much?

Skip the questions and use a very simple low-demand starting point.

For now, make the day smaller

You do not need to work out everything that is wrong. Reduce the next few demands first.

Reduce one demand Delay, cancel, shorten or simplify one thing that does not need to happen now.
Check one body need Food, drink, medication, temperature, pain, position, toilet or rest may need attention.
Reduce sensory input Lower noise, light, conversation, movement or other unnecessary input.
Do one useful thing — or recover The next useful step may be tiny. Recovery can also be the useful step.

What are you trying to make easier?

Choose the closest fit. It does not have to be perfect.

Step 2

What is making low energy harder today?

Choose anything that fits. You can choose more than one.

Step 3

How much capacity do you have right now?

This changes how small the suggested starting point should be.
