Mosts nights, after dinner and maybe a game or 2 on the Playstation, I head back to the kitchen to get a bowl of ice cream.

That involves, bear with me, getting the ice cream out of the freezer, getting a dessert spoon from the drawer, a bowl from the cupboard, serving the ice cream, putting the ice cream back in the freezer and putting the spoon in the dishwasher, going back to the drawer for a teaspoon, because you actually eat ice cream with a teaspoon, and then retreating to my man cave for nerd things. For 30+ years, that has been the flow.

Tonight I hit upon the brilliant optimisation of getting the dessert spoon AND the teaspoon at the same time. While I was serving the ice cream I was marvelling at my innovation, saving one whole action. I am genius I was thinking.

After putting the desert spoon in the dishwasher, I still went back to the drawer to get a teaspoon. Now I have 2 on the bench, so actually added an action to put one back away again.

Do not try to change things. They cannot be changed
