Being Productive With Chronic Health Conditions

This is a great article - I would have benefited from this advice when I had RSI.

I think these ideas may also be helpful for people who are experiencing long-COVID symptoms.

When you’re dealing with longer term, physical chronic health problems that cause fatigue, brain fog, or pain, standard productivity advice might not work. Common advice can even backfire, leaving you worse off.

Improving your habits and better managing your symptoms will almost certainly increase your productivity more than trying to power through. So work smarter, not harder.

Managing your productivity is about learning to negotiate that cycle: reduce the downs if you can, make the most of the ups, and practice some self-love as you go.
