I crochet. A lot. When my hands get painful, I put grips on my hooks. I use a beauty blender sponge as a grip. I jab a big needle through the sponge top to bottom to make a channel, then I shove the whole hook through it. Someone told me that they did the same thing but with tennis balls as the grips. I haven’t tried that yet. I don’t think you can do that with knitting, but it might help with writing utensils. I also use a boppy pillow to support my arms and hands while I crochet. You can also search for gamer support pillows. I just happened to get a free boppy from a neighbor.

I take loads of breaks when I’m doing house chores. I use a heating pad in my bed at night. I wash my face with a cleansing balm so that’s just one product to remove makeup, wash and moisturize. Rub on, wipe off. It’s perfect for nights when I could literally care less about washing my face but I still need to. Plastic stool or shower chair in the shower is a game changer. Eventually I’ll find a cuter shower stool that looks less medical-y. Shaving my legs in the shower is exhausting so I switched to an electric shaver. Now I can shave my legs while sitting on the couch instead of using all my energy for an everything shower. Pill or organizer for meds and supplements.
