Summary

A Reddit user in r/chronicfatigue described flare-ups when they could barely eat toast. They stopped using due dates in Todoist and tagged tasks by energy level (high energy, low energy for things done while horizontal, and 'braindead'), making a filter that only shows low-energy or 'braindead' tasks during flare-ups. They said this stopped them feeling like a failure when they looked at their phone.
