Spoon theory gave me words for something I'd felt for years: every day starts with a limited budget, and everything costs something.

## Three things that helped

- Planning the big task for my best hour, not the first hour.
- Sitting down for jobs I used to do standing.
- Counting rest as part of the plan, not a failure of it.

It's not a cure. It's a kinder way to spend what I've got.
