You're forgetting "where is that pan, no that one, the other one", "which oil to use, not that one", "gotta watch that pan for three minutes so it doesn't burn and I don't forget", "now i have a pan, a plate and a stove to clean" vs. "i'mma do some other shit until i hear the microwave go bing" and "rinse plate".
I feel like that's largely a habit thing. I never cook using the microwave, I would have to spend a lot of time looking up shit to cook something decent. But I cook meals from scratch most days and I know exactly which ingredients to use, where things are, and how to cook a dish quickly and effeciently.
I often cook while I listen to podcasts, which strangely enough helps me focus on the mechanical tasks since I am not distracted - or rather, only distracted by the podcast. That works well for the dishes I know by heart, but if it's something new where i need to check a recipe I have to force myself to concentrate as well :)
Good luck however you feel like feeding yourself!
Three minutes! The horror!
Shit man, the video games aren't going to play themselves.
That's the duration for only one of the listed sub-tasks
Not the point.
