Do daily activities take longer to do?

I'm finding that if I think before I more, I have fewer injuries and less pain. This "ritual" makes getting ready for the office in the morning take considerably more time than I'd like to give. Does anyone else have a "caution flag" waving?

Today I swung my briefcase into the car...bad idea. It doesn't weigh that much, but any twisting motion seems to set my lower back off. Translation: I didn't think before I swung. So even though I walked for 21 whole minutes today, that will be it for any exercise.

    Oh yes! I have learned I have to break things down into parts. I will do something that takes a lot of energy, concentration, etc. for a bit then take a break and do something less taxing. Sometimes when I am having a no energy day, I give myself permission to just sit and relax between the stages of an activity.
