As the story was told, the origin of the analogy took place in a restaurant. And the cart with all the tableware was at hand, so spoons were used as the example unit.
I hit the spoon wall a couple of years back. I had been borrowing tomorrow's spoons for so long, just to get through today, that I was months in hock. I'm still not finding the energy to actively do a whole lot of "fun" stuff, even if I want to. But, I understand that I'm catching up from all that spoon burning.
I'm glad to hear you're getting caught up! This is why I'm so in favor of remote work: those hours spent driving, unlike the work hours, are simply wasted time. My commute takes up more of my week than my workout routine. How much more could I be taking care of myself, were that not a part of my life?
Things you do for pleasure should never be a source of that much anxiety. I'm glad you made a decision that de-stressed your life!
