The lag is the part nobody explains. i crashed hard friday evening, but the trigger was monday. just the mailbox trip and one small laundry load. not wednesday when i actually did it.
that’s the 3-4 day window i’ve tracked for months now and it holds most of the time… here’s what matters: day two or three, you feel fine. you believe you recovered and plan more activity. thursday rolls around, brain fog hits like a switch, fatigue back full force.
you’ve already overcommitted because the delay tricked you. i log what drained me and count forward instead of guessing… works better than “listen to your body” when your body takes three or four days to respond. what’s your lag?
is it consistent, or does it depend on what triggered it?
