The video game theory

So I have read a lot of theories; the spoon theory, the gas tank theory, the phone battery theory, and the broken gauge theory. Those damn energy fairies are such tricksters.

So lets say a typical person starts each day in their personal game of life with 1,000 energy points. Each activity of the day costs them the same amount of points every single time. Let's say brushing teeth only costs 5EP, every single time, no matter what. Going to work 8 hours costs 400EP, every single time; unless its stressful; then it costs them 500EP; and so on with activities of the day. If they run out of points they can take a nap, eat a meal, meditate, or whatever it is that recharges them to win back a certain amount of points. It's the same amount of points every time. A half an hour nap wins back 200EP or a meal wins back 50EP and so on. They usually know what they can and cannot do.  If they make plans after work, they know that if they take a nap before they go, they will have enough energy to enjoy themselves. They know that if they overspend their EP all they have to do is eat a quick meal, take a quick nap or sit back and relax and they will start to refill.

Now lets say there is person with a hidden illness, neurological difference, or other things(in my case, autism, PTSD, depression, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, learning disorders, ADHD,  OCD, GERD, and chronic pain). This person plays their personal game of life but the game is on a randomizer. The day could start with 1,000EP, 50EP, noEP , or anything in between. On top of not knowing how many EP you get at the start of the day you also don't know how much each activity will cost. Today brushing my teeth could cost me 5EP and tomorrow it could cost me 100EP. Today going on a 4 hour shift could cost me 200EP and tomorrow it could cost me 1,000EP. A half an hour nap could win 200EP or it could DRAIN 200EP. Eating a meal could win me 50EP or it could only win me 10EP. This person hates to make plans because if they wake up with noEp and drain themself even more during the day because life is an important game but then take a week to catch up then it is difficult to know they will be able to keep their plans, or they do keep their plans and just make things worse for themselves.

Let's say this one day looks like this
Wake up today: 500EP
Eat breakfast: +50EP = 550EP
Get kids ready for school: -100EP = 450EP
Go to Appointment waiting room:-200EP = 250EP
Go to Appointment: -50EP = 200EP
Eat a meal: +50EP = 250EP
Take a nap:-100EP = 150EP (damn nap hangover)
Try to relax and get bombarded by stresses:-150EP = NoEP
Write a story or a blogpost:+100EP
Eat a snack:+10EP = 110EP
Kids home from school with drama: -200EP = - 90EP
Something happy happens with the kids: +100EP = 10EP
Cook dinner: -200EP = -190EP
Put kids to bed -300EP = -490EP
Watch TV before bed: +100EP  = -390EP
(This is not even taking into account the energy spent on brushing teeth, taking a shower, getting dressed, or other little things the day requires)

Next day wake up with 800EP YAY, dunno how that happened but i will take it! Start the next day and hope not to overspend this time.
