I don’t know if any of you have heard about this concept before but it helps us balance and understand our energy levels. We all start the day with 10 spoons, some tasks may take more than one spoon, and there’s things to earn spoons back. here’s an example. Get up and dressed 2 spoons - 8 left Have breakfast 1 spoon - 7 left Go to work 3 spoons - 4 left Make tea 2 spoons - 2 spoons left Read a book +1 spoon - 3 spoons left Sort out things ready for tomorrow’s day at work 2 spoons- 1 spoon left. Take a bath and go to bed + 4 spoons - 5 spoons left. I hope that all makes sense, you have to understand what actions drain your energy levels and how to recharge 😁….. this method also helps one of my friends who has AUHD and Bipolar x

I was just thinking about spoon theory last night, so your post really landed for me! My husband often uses up most of his “spoons” at work and comes home with very few left until the weekend. It made me realize how much this happens for so many of us—we put so much energy into one area that we’re left drained in others. I’ve been brainstorming how helpful it could be to do an exercise where people track what they’re actually spending their spoons on, and then see how they’d like to re-allocate that energy.
