Understand your energy envelope.

Pacing means matching demand to what you can tolerate.

Higher demand – physical, cognitive, or emotional exertion
Delayed worsening – a pattern that can occur with PEM
More manageable range – observed over time, not a guaranteed safe zone

Elara in everyday life

Less logging.
More context.

Visibility changes things.

Wearables already measure heart rate, sleep and exertion. But they are built for sport, not for illness — they reward doing more, where what counts is doing less.

Your measurements beside your entries.
