It certainly helps me function at my best, instead of this “too tired to function” functioning. It was just a part of the checks and balances I had set up when I realized the scope of the disease. I had forgotten it because I “felt very good.” It’s only because of that day off in between that I felt so good, and now I realize that without it, I can’t function. So I will force myself to go back to it.
If that makes any sense.
Slowing down to go faster is one of those old paradoxes that has been well proven over time. The original version I heard was “Haste makes waste.”
