| |  | | | Stop making things so hard on yourself | | Have you ever heard of the Spoon Theory? Using spoons as a unit of energy, it conceptualizes how people with disabilities, chronic pain, or health conditions typically have less energy to expend each day than others. Basically, we get fewer daily spoons. It's both an art and a science to figure out how to spend each spoon to finish essential tasks — without going in the red. | | For example, washing dishes may be no big deal to you. Maybe it costs you one spoon or zero spoons. But for me — someone with mental and physical health conditions and without a dishwasher — this chore costs three of my precious spoons, leaving me with less bandwidth to do other things I wanted to accomplish that day, like cook dinner or go for a walk. | | All that to say, I try my best to navigate my task list wisely every day. Here are a few "little" things I've been doing that have had a big impact on my energy levels and overall well-being: | - setting a built-in brew timer on the coffee machine
- using coffee grinds instead of grinding beans myself
- buying and eating frozen, microwaveable meals
- automating all of my recurring monthly bills
- cooking 3 days' worth of breakfast burritos at once
- ordering takeout for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner
- using disposable cutlery and plates (don't yell at me!)
