The Energy Equation, Part 2: Energy Budgeting Most people are taught to manage time. But for many neurodivergent people, the bigger issue is energy. A calendar may show available hours, while the nervous system is already close to empty. In this episode, Stephen Harrison explores energy budgeting as a practical way to understand daily capacity. He discusses Spoon Theory, social credits, time cost versus energy cost, recharge activities, numbing, energy leaks, planned recovery, buffers, and the boom-bust cycle. The core message is clear: energy budgeting is not about doing less with life. It is about spending limited capacity on what matters most while leaving enough in reserve to stay well.
