    I feel like this all the time. Which is why I drink tea.

    1. Boil water (optional if desperate)
    2. Put tea bag in cup
    3. Pour water in cup

    Drink

    Edit: I would drink a nice instant, but coffee makes me jittery anyways so tea is the way for me. I do have a nice instant coffee, but I only have a cup a few times a year.

        To reduce steps, I keep the electric kettle on the counter. Then it’s just steps 5-12. But you also forgot step 10.B = forget about tea, and 10.C = remember tea and try to figure out where you left it.

        Not really. I only drink twinning earl grey, have a kettle on the stove all the time (most of the time with enough water in it already), and use the same mug all week. I’ve streamlined it so I don’t have to make any of those decisions. So more like

        1. Put water in kettle
        2. turn on stove
        3. grab tea bag from jar in front of my face
        4. put bag in cup already on counter
        5. smoke
        6. hear loud af whistle, come inside
        7. pour water
        8. Forget tea for a bit
        9. take out bag and drink
