Oh that is so true 
Days like that are not so rare. I get the feeling that it happens when I need to lighten up.
Despite all this I remain convinced that there are gains to be made.
keep on keepin’ on
Absolutely , six months on, each week is usually a bit better than the week before 
@Seddso After I had my stroke and was in recovery each morning I would do a to do list for the day, not lots of tasks, just one at first then build up to a couple of things. I found that by writing it down helped me to remember and I loved the satisfaction of ticking off what I finished. Its just we all have to find ways to help manage our brain recovery after stroke. Everyone is different but this still helps me years after.
In thse early months, I’d start something and the rest of the family would always have carry on/finish off. But hey, it got things done that they otherwise wouldn’t have thought to do 
It doesn’t work so well these days now I’m so much more mobile 
I think they cotton’d on to me 
A good gauge is the more you can walk, the more you can do. And the stronger your legs are the sooer you can do that. So do lots of sit to stands, until the muscles are burning in the backs of your legs before you rest.
And my hubby has just reminded me of one of my little exercises for my stroke hand’ stirring the sweetner into the tea. He just had me stirring to a count of 10 clockwise then counter clockwise We haven’t done that in a long time but he’s recently started doing it again just to wind me up 
I couldn’t read or write or speak back then so couldn’t write a list or have hubby do it for me, so this is what I had to do. Plot a course in you’re mind and stay on that course.
Pick 3 things you’d like to do in a day. Choose one to do to completion, and do that without concerning yourself about the rest. Once done, give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Have a break, have a Kitkat, have a nap if need be, then start on the next. It’s easier now because you’ve only got 2 choices, but you’re only going to do of them today, so choose wisely😉 Is it going to be one you can complete before the end of the day? Can it be left half done 'til tomorrow to complete? Will you even remember it come tomorrow? That’s half our issue in the early months post stroke, our short term memory is shot, unreliable.
Plan excursions out at the start of your most optimal hours of mobilty to get the most out of them.
4 years on my brain still scrambles if I’m faced with too many choices. I still have to break them down and pick 3, otherwise my brain gets overwhelmed and shuts down. And then I’d just waste the day pottering around doing not much of anything…and way too much sitting. That in turn weakens my stroke side, lazier and limping more. So I have to keep the momentum going. That’s why I have set excursions out for 5 days of the week. And other excursions can easily take their place as and when needed on those days.
