-Most importantly I pace.
-I set timers to not get lost in the process and overdo it
-I use machines
-I get help
-I set up my space intelligently

**I would also add planning and giving plenty of time to finish a project. If I used to be able to do it in 2 furious days of intense work, I now give myself a _month_.

**Also if your max sitting up time is shorter (say 30 mins.) sit up for less long (like 5 minutes at a time). My max used to be 15 minutes and at that point sitting up painting was not a good idea. Now that I am moderately severe my max time is 2 hours, so now I do 30 min blocks.
