The Spoon Theory, developed by Christine Miserandino*, offers a metaphor for understanding how individuals with chronic illnesses or physical limitations manage their limited energy. Spoons represent units of energy available for daily tasks, with each activity—no matter how small—using up a certain number of spoons. Once depleted, no energy remains for other activities that day. This theory shows the importance of resource planning for people with invisible illnesses, including mental health conditions, and helps others understand their challenges.
