Sometimes you have to go into low power mode.

You can't always take the full recharge—the reset, the shutdown you actually need. But you can ride through on reserve and still get things done.

I've been firing on all cylinders at work. It's the worst possible time to take a sick day. So instead: conserve. Fewer activities. Rest where I can. Low power.

Keep the engine running. Just don't blast the gas pedal.
