  1. For snow, I got a plug in electric snow shovel. Plug in is lighter than a battery pack, and the shovel pulls itself forward and can clear a narrow path until I can get help digging out properly.

  2. Meal kits are great. Going to the store and all that entails is exhausting. I get easy prep meals. I’m single and 4 meals last me 2 weeks.

  3. I just don't do things that tire me out on those days. I rest, read and watch movies. Cleaning can wait.

  4. Take advantage of delivery services such as Amazon. A trip to Staples, for example, to get computer paper, can be exhausting. Carrying the package from the door to my room is doable.
