Try to balance periods of activity and rest.
Too much of either is not good. Frequent short rest periods
are better than a single one and lying down to rest is better than sitting.
Be sure to get enough sleep at night.

Work at a slow steady pace. Allow enough time to do the job.

Avoid stairs whenever possible and plan errands so you can go to
more than one place in the same general locality on a single trip.

Distribute your work evenly throughout the day. If you do too
much on one day you will be too tired to do anything for hours or days.

Be organized and plan ahead for your work.

Store your items where they are to be used.

Eliminate any unnecessary work.

Sit to work whenever possible.

Avoid strenuous activity. Don't start anything you can't finish
and don't try to do a two-man job.

And last but not least, be open-minded. You must be willing to make
small changes in your lifestyle so you can control your fatigue.

Learn to set priorities....
