🌸 What is Allostat?
Allostat is a gentle, practical tool designed to help you pace yourself if you live with ASD, FND, AuDHD, chronic fatigue, or similar conditions.
It helps you manage your energy using 'spoons'. You can allocate your tasks and their spoon costs across each day of the week, save and load your weeks, and build your own task library so planning becomes predictable and kind to your body.
🧭 How to Use It
-
Start at the top with your symptom scale: Rate how you feel right now across sensory, executive, and social energy. Allostat works out your realistic starting spoons for the day and shows your day tier (Green, Amber, or Red).
-
Choose different days: Use the Select Day to Rate buttons to jump between days of the week and check your forecast across the whole week.
-
Add your tasks to the days of the week: Drag tasks from your Task Library into any day column, or click + Add to Selected Day. Watch your remaining spoons and net balance so you do not overdraw.
-
Spot rests and recovery: Once you add tasks, look at the bottom of each day column. Allostat shows you recommended recovery activities or rests, and flags helpful warnings for overload or post-crash rebounds.
-
Get energy refunds: Tasks with minus values (like cycling, reading, or quiet downtime) are restorative activities that add spoons back to your day!
