Summary
Described living with ME/CFS between 2022 and 2026, sharing a friend's tip of working in short timed bursts on chores rather than trying to finish a task, which they said inspired them personally. Powering through left their mental and physical symptoms more noticeable once they stopped, and their working memory was wobbly. In the early days, when life was hardest, they relied on one-pot meals; later they chose quick dishes with little waiting.
