I would like to know what energy accounting is and how to do it myself.
I get burnt out and only figure out why in hindsight.
can someone from NAS help me do this as I never recognise what uses energy until after its happened and I struggle to make new diaries into an established routine or habit, as I already keep track of so much...
are there templates for I can use for energy accounting?
I also looked for the e-befriending service I was advised to check out by NAS at the autism show in Birmingham this year but couldn't find it...
look forward to your help soon,
faithfully,
noushka
When I see the title the first thought that comes into my mind all the time is the electricity and gas suppliers.
Me too! Even though I know what the discussion is about, my immediate thought when I see it is that it’s a thread about gas and elecricity suppliers and click on to find it’s not!
My immediate thought was Private Eye's 'Me and my spoon' column. But then my brain jumps over the important bit.
Seriously, spoon theory. It's about managing one's personal mental or bodily energy:

if spoonies use up more energy than they really have, and get excessively exhausted as a result, it's known as getting into "spoon deficit"
I don't know much about it, but questions to answer to make it work might be:
And in my case, if I've had far too little sleep like today, do I have fewer spoons, or have I spilled cutlery all over the floor?
Hahahaha that made me laugh out loud. You can have them back, honestly, I don't want them anymore!
Now I know who stole all the spoons.
