Hi, I’m Suzanne. I created Low Spoon Living because I got tired of health and productivity advice that assumes you have unlimited energy to implement it.

I have an adult daughter with ADHD and autism, and a lot of what I’ve learned about executive dysfunction, motivation, and just getting through the day came from figuring out what actually works for her, and for me. I also have a nutrition degree, which means I’ve spent years knowing exactly what I should be doing while also being a real person who sometimes can’t.

The site covers food and cooking, productivity workarounds for people whose brains don’t always want to cooperate, and small movement and health habits that don’t require you to already be a motivated person.

If you’re not sure what “low spoon” means, there’s a brief explanation of spoon theory here. The short version: some of us have less energy to spend than other people assume, and that’s not laziness.

I’d love for you to subscribe to the newsletter if you find the site useful. And if you have questions or want to get in touch, please do.
