Just wanted to update everyone that now, a few weeks after originally posting, things have been a lot better in terms of managing energy levels and productivity. I think I was just so worried because I was trying to figure out how to get the high level of productivity out of myself but I think, by learning to be flexible with my time I've managed a very high level of productivity.

Still don't quite have the hang of getting productivity out of myself personally on weekends, and Mondays are extremely painful due to my sleep cycle always getting out of whack on weekends because I end up either collapsing entirely on weekends or, like this weekend, having emergencies that kept me up all night. But I think I'm progressing and getting there.

I've been blocking out all my time at the beginning of each week, including breaks to nap or just sit on my sofa and be anxious/depressed/sit doing nothing, etc. Trips to the dog park, meals, etc. And each day I end up moving things around based on how I feel but I still require myself to do everything I need in that day. So it's weird in that it can mean my day starts very early and ends very late, but I also often get quite a few breaks in the day to rest/recharge, and I'm finding this very successful in managing the chronic fatigue that has plagued me.
