Listen Later

In this podcast episode, Dan and Juz explore the concept of pacing and give it a bit of a re-brand, going through their structure and personal examples to learn how to break down managing your timing, tasks and tolerance more effectively so you can reclaim activities and passions pain may have limited. Effective pacing includes careful planning, task batching, and managing context variables to adjust to fluctuating physical and emotional demands. Key strategies involve scheduling pressure-release activities, monitoring stress, and using graded exposure techniques to build resilience through movement. The episode emphasizes the importance of built in flexibility, encouraging listeners to shift tasks as needed and recognize that flare-ups are a natural part of the process, learning to adapt routines and lean on support networks to manage setbacks and regain your baseline quicker.
