1. If you can avoid it, never call a business on the first day of the week it's open. Wait until at least 40 minutes after they're open on the second day. This waits out the first wave of frantic callers and gives whoever is on the phone time to grab a coffee and drink enough that they don't feel disturbed in their morning start-up ritual.

The method of changing your duvet cover by rolling it onto the duvet was a huge help when I had low energy:

A rice cooker can also cook most frozen vegetables, as long as they're in small pieces, and can reheat precooked meats also in bite-sized bits. You can make a whole meal in around half an hour by dumping 1 cup rice, 2 cups liquid, and 1-2 servings of meat & vegetables in a rice cooker and hitting start. Use a flavored liquid, like broth, or mix in seasonings at the start, and you're good to go. Cubed carrots and sweet potato with canned chickpeas and yellow curry paste, for example. Frozen peas and pearl onions with shredded chicken and chicken broth.
