[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could someone who self-identifies as low energy explain what is meant by that? I am not being obtuse, but genuinely curious how that is quantified. [/quote]

For me a lot of it is I am an introvert, so being around other people while it can be fun is also tiring. Less so my own family of course. So I'm a bit of a homebody. [/quote]

This. I disagree that low energy means that you don't pursue projects or sign your kids up for classes, though. I do both. But I also like getting 10 hours of sleep/rest a night (so like 7-8 hours of sleep plus 2-3 hours of quiet time reading or doing a chill craft or something).

I tend to be very thoughtful about adding commitments to my lap. I don't instantly sign up for the PTA just because I can. We take vacations but we also do multiple "staycations" each year where we take a few days off and just do family stuff locally without the stress of travel. We say no to our families all the time. We view "going out to lunch" as a sufficient Saturday activity and are fine spending the rest of the day lying around reading or playing games.[/quote]
