Interesting read, thank you. A friend of mine has a genetic immune system condition and definitely fits the spoons model - their stamina is hard capped per day, although the cap fluctuates with their health.

Whereas if I'm going through a severe depressive episode, building momentum and restructuring is the only thing that works for me.

It's important to set realistic daily goals and not beat oneself up as long as some momentum is building, even if it's in tiny increments.



Both my wife and I have autoimmune conditions and we operate like your friend. Coding can be a bitch on the bad days.
