Has anyone ever used spoon theory for personal reasons or to be able to show others your pain?

But why spoons?
It's spoons because the person originated the idea was at a restaurant and trying to come up with a way to explain her situation to a friend, and just grabbed whatever was nearby which happened to be a bunch of spoons. Then the story went viral and it stuck.
I'd like to call them "action points"
