Seconded on Spoon Theory. When I first saw that, I was like, "This explains so damn much!"
Alternatively, if you're a D&D player, substitute "spell slots" for spoons. Allows for variable-sized 'spoons,' while still assuming you have a hard limit on how many you can use every day (e.g. a minor, simple, routine task might use a teaspoon or level 1 spell slot, while something major and mentally taxing might use a soup ladle or a level 5 spell slot)
