Seven pacing skills for everyone
1. Find the proper speed or pace for doing each activity (some people or activities operate better going slower, some faster).
2. Break down larger, long-term goals into smaller, short-term goals to accomplish over several hours, days, weeks, or even months.
3. Know when not to do the activity and either delegate, hire someone or go without it.
4. Take breaks, recesses, and time-outs, especially when engaged in a high risk, actively taxing, or strenuous activity.
5. Check-in with you on physical, emotional, and mental levels, as often as warranted by the nature of the activity, and follow through by making needed adjustments.
6. Set a recent, realistic, and workable standard to compare yourself to. Make sure to compare you only with you, and then only within the last year.
7. Modulate your levels of stimulation from both your external and internal environments to stay well clear of being flooded or put to sleep.
At the end of the day, only you can decide what is important to you and then make a plan on how to achieve that which you give importance to.
