I trained myself into a few really hardwired 'maintain a minimal quality of life' habits over the years, because otherwise I would just fall down a hole and vanish from my entire life during funks, and that's not tenable for, say, holding down a job. So I picked a few things that I refuse to let slip. And some days, those few things (plus my current paid employment) are all I can manage, but by god, I will manage them or else.

It's maybe not the healthiest attitude -- missing one day won't actually destroy me or anything, and accidentally convincing myself on an emotional level that one slip will lead to THE APOCALYPSE is just asking for trouble if I ever do just flat run out of spoons for even these basics -- but it's worked for me for over a decade now, so. *shrug*
