Miserandino came up with the Spoon Theory as an attempt to explain to a friend what chronic illness is like, utilizing spoons as a metaphor for units of energy that are spent with everything you do in a day. She handed her friend a pile of spoons, then took them away one by one as her friend described what she had done that day, cleverly showing how every single thing you do costs energy, and you have to decide where to “spend” your spoons.
