Five minutes: a study of the mundane.

I bought an electric kettle. It cost $20 plus tax.

It has nearly paid for itself. Here's why: it has given back five minutes of my time every morning. This is because I can boil water while showering, leaving the tea bag to steep while the toast goes. That's five minutes that can now run in parallel with the rest of breakfast assembly time.

Told you it was a study of the mundane.
