You have x number of spoons to use per day. Each task uses a certain amount of them. Like showering uses 5. Cleaning and doing laundry might use up another 7. Cooking dinner? There goes another 4. Working? Well, that costs 10. Say you start with 20...you are now borrowing from tomorrow. You start with 14. See?? It helps explain how overdoing it costs us.

It really does describe how we have to pick and choose our activities wisely.

@A MyLupusTeam Member I know I don't have enough regular spoons so I am going to buy some disposable ones so I can keep using them. Lord knows I don't want to keep washing alot of spoons daily...lol
