My best skill is knowing how to recognize the early signs of pushing my limits. Something as simple as needing to reread a line of text tells me I am pushing too hard. I know that there are some things I don't do. I don't try to read fiction. I can't follow all the characters and get lost with the common overly descriptive terms.

We have a saying. "Is this a driving day ?" This relates to how well I am focusing on a task or thought. It usually relates to how well I sleep.

If you struggled with running, have you done anything to analyze your gait and foot plant ? The pounding from a hard foot plant can be a big problem. Plus, unresolved upper neck injuries can make the pounding a problem.

Without knowing anything more specific about your issues, that's the best I can say.

The app "Symple" allows you to track symptom severity alongside "factors" that you can choose, and then it produces graphs that can help illustrate correlations. I was good with tracking for a while, but my symptoms are reasonably constant and trying to assign numbers to severity (as well as the screentime involved in entering info on the app) was more trouble than I wanted. It seems reasonably well done though. For 3 bucks (if I remember correctly) you can add unlimited symptoms and factors to track.

One should be careful about tracking symptoms. Studies show there is a direct correlation between the effort made to track symptoms and their manifestation. The more one looks for the symptom, the more than symptom will manifest. This is an anxiety inducing effort which will make symptoms worse.

A daily recap would be better than real time journaling.
