Author • Executive Coach • Pacing Strategist
Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is more than “feeling wiped.” In Part 2 of her Too Tired to Think mini-series, Sarah Vizer zooms into the everyday mechanics of life with ME/CFS and shares the system she built to keep crashes—and frustration—at bay.
What you’ll learn
- PEM decoded – why that invisible line can leave you crashing for days
- Energy maths – peaks, troughs & Sarah’s “one-thing-a-day” rule
- Non-negotiable rest breaks – how she schedules them (and defends them)
- Trigger mapping – spotting physical, mental and emotional drains before they empty the tank
“Your battery might never hit 100 percent, but you control how you spend the charge you have.” – Sarah Vizer
Why press play
- Turn the abstract idea of pacing into a practical daily rhythm.
- Get permission to put rest in the diary first—then build life around it.
- Hand this episode to a family member who still wonders why “just push yourself” doesn’t work.
🎧 Listen now, then tweak your own guard-rails before the next crash hits.
