Just the essentials

Three things, and nothing else

  1. Stop before you're tired, not after. Rest is the treatment.
  2. Write it down now. Later doesn't exist.
  3. Leave early if a place is too bright or too loud. Recovering from overload takes far longer than avoiding it.

If you read nothing else

You are not lazy, difficult, or imagining it. An injured brain does ordinary things using far more energy than it used to.
