This is something I created for myself a couple months back to help me keep a closer eye on how much activity and responsibility I piled on myself after I recover from burnout periods.
Because of my struggles with interoception it is very easy for me to feel good one day and assume I can maintain that level of activity indefinitely. I then make more commitments, promises, plans and inevitably burn myself out again.
My scale runs from 1 (I’m at my most productive) to 4 (I’m in full burnout), and I broke it into sections with reminders for myself and anyone else around me about what wise choices are based on my experiences.
With PDA of course this cannot be used as a list of “do’s” or “don’ts”— in fact I hang it on my bedroom door and ignore it most of the time— but it does present a visual reminder that I need to be cautious. It is meant to be flexible and adaptable as my needs change.
