This isn't a morning routine. A routine is something you can skip. This is a legally binding contract, signed in triplicate by me, my nervous system, and whatever ancient god invented the coffee bean. The terms are simple. First, I drink the coffee. Then, I do the things. In that order. Forever.
There is no clause for "just one quick question before coffee." No addendum for "but it's urgent." Anyone who speaks to me before step one completes will be billed for emotional damages — one full coffee per interruption, payable immediately. Phone calls before coffee are a war crime. "We need to talk" before coffee is how horror movies start.
People say I should be more flexible. People also say I should try decaf, and those people are no longer in my life. So respect the contract. If you need me before 7 AM, bring an offering. The offering is coffee.
