Welcome

Welcome to Save the Spoons. This is a site dedicated to helping make life easier, particularly Spoonies, but all are welcome.

Spoonies are people that live with chronic illness; theoretically measuring personal daily abilities much as one would measure the proper amount of spoons needed for an event or occasion... sometimes having an abundance, other times coming up short.

~Urban Dictionary

The spoon theory is a wonderful description of the daily life of someone with an invisible illness. The gist of the story is that we only get a certain amount of spoons a day and each task costs a spoon. After reading this theory I was able to manage my days much more productively. I urge you to read the story as it will give you a greater understanding of these illnesses whether you have one or not.

I've learned a few tricks about how to save spoons and use them in the best way possible. I am here to share this with you. I would love to hear from you as well if you have something you want to share.
