For example, my auto-response to "it's time to get ready for work" is to shower, put on deodorant, brush teeth, floss, shave, take medication, get dressed." I do it the same way each and every work day. HOWEVER, if someone interrupts me in the middle of the routine, that can be trouble. I've gone to work with unbrushed teeth and a few times I've been fully dressed, only to realize I hadn't shaved.

You've written about the perfect thing, for its dailiness and for how it is emblematic of so many other pesky things we must do. I wish I had your kitchen, because the dishwasher -- which I, too, detest to empty (sorting, tedium, what? again?) -- is across the room from the cupboards. I love it best when my husband is away and I eat from the dishwasher. I mean, I use the dishes from there all day, and run it at night. In the morning, do it again. Some things get extra washing, but so what. As a child, in a family of 6 (probably 5, surely 4, with AD/HD), and no dishwasher, I became the fastest sorter-and-putter of silverware into the drawer, cutlery tray included. With no wasted motion at all, I took the forks, knives and spoons one by one from my left hand and with my right and hurled them (about 4 inches) into their respective sections. What speed! What noise! How to irritate your mother! I was fast. Andrew, you have done it again.
