Ways to conserve energy

Ways to conserve energy
Planning and organizing
Alternate tasks that take lots of energy with those that take less.
Plan activities daily as well as weekly to better alternate tasks.
Delegate as much as possible. It helps you get tasks done and it makes those who want to help feel useful.
Eliminate steps or tasks that are not essential by combining chores or errands.
Arrange your household so that most activities can be done on one floor.
Organize ahead of time so you don't have to rush.
Pacing
Balance activities so you alternate resting and doing.
Stop to rest before you get tired even if it means stopping in the middle of a task.
Try to avoid spurts of activity; this can drain energy.
Pace activities on good days as well as bad days.
Develop a routine to prevent overdoing.
Positioning
Sit to do things whenever possible.
Use assistive devices: walkers, scooters, canes, handrails, crutches, grab bars. Assistive devices and adaptive equipment can save energy by allowing you to do things without having to bend or reach.
Avoid heavy lifting (such as children, pots and pans, and laundry).
Use carts or wagons to move things from room to room and place to place.
Wear a fanny pack, carpenter's belt, or jacket or sweater with pockets to carry things.
Prioritizing
Focus on things you enjoy doing.
Be realistic with yourself.

Let others help prepare or bring food. Family or friends usually like to help!
