Today I had a crazy day, and then developed a migraine on top of it. As I was trying to explain to my colleagues that I would do what I could, but my brain was basically broken at this point in time, I had an idea. How about a visual?

So now I have a spoons meter, with colours and descriptive flair that everyone can understand. No more surprises if I just start crying because the question is taking too much energy out of me. And no more surprises if I'm running around looking for stuff to do either!

Everyone I showed it to liked the idea and approved of it, so I'm taking it as a good start!

How do you communicate your needs and energy levels with your peers?
