Most people pace by symptoms — pushing until they feel bad, then stopping. Research increasingly shows this actually maintains the boom-bust cycle, because by the time symptoms show up, the damage is often already done. This workbook is built around quota-contingent pacing: deciding your limits in advance, and following the plan instead of the moment-to-moment feeling.
If you live with chronic illness, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, ME/CFS, POTS, EDS, or any condition where the boom-bust cycle feels painfully familiar, this workbook gives you the structure to break it: find your true baseline, set realistic quotas, connect your plan to what actually matters to you, and review your progress without relying on guesswork or good-day optimism.
