What is spoon theory?

From the app’s English Help & Guide · Reference release 1.0.19

Overview

Spoon Theory was created by Christine Miserandino in 2003. It uses spoons as a metaphor for units of energy. When you live with chronic illness, you start each day with a limited number of spoons — and every activity costs some. Metered makes this practical by letting you plan how to spend yours.
