Energy is a precious resource, and for some people it may be limited. Imagine you have a defined number of “spoons” of energy each day, and every task you perform “costs” spoons. When they are exhausted, you feel intense fatigue. This is the powerful metaphor behind the Spoon Theory, an essential approach to managing energy for people living with chronic diseases, disabilities or other energy limitations.
