How to use energy points
Imagine you only have a certain amount of points to spend on daily activities, a bit like a video game where you only get so many actions, or if you have to shop within a budget.
You need to choose carefully how you spend these points to have a fulfilled day.
As you start to improve you will start to feel you will have more points available (a bit like levelling up or getting a pay rise).
Here is an example:
You need to spend your points on things like: Work, Exercise, Cooking & Eating, Relaxing, Washing (eg shower/bath), Household Chores, Family/Friends.
You need to decide what comes into these categories and then how to spend your points
