Problem. Solving
Had hard time deciding what topic I should pick. Have had a good day. One of my difficultis is pacing myself and find solutions to common problems. Some of my solutions may already be known but thought I would share a few just in case it may help a few.first of all asking for help is a reat struggle. I was very independent and frequently someone else's idea of cleaning is usually not like man. But with my medical issues I had to do something. I stared by asking for help with only one thing. Eventually I could ask for help with other things. I get exhausted very easily. So.. I wrote out my jobs. I then went through the checking ones that were easy versus hard. A good example was folding clothes was an easier job. I tried to divide the jobs so that I would alternate between difficult and easier. I also know I usually feel better earlier in the day. So I scheduled my work at that time as much as possible. (I also would schedule appointments in the morning ). I would usually melt down by 2 pm. I also decided to try arranging things to be easier. The simple task of constantly reaching in cupboards to get spices was very tiring. So I put baking spices and normal spices into 2 different baskets and labeled accordingly. So when I need normal spices I would just have to reach once to get them time. I made sure baskets were not to heavy. I have a tendency to get very painful hands when I can't do much of anything. So.. when hands are not hurting I will utilize the time to do thints . Oops got close will continue later
