Simple Tasks Take A Few Minutes; The Dishes Remain Untouched

You just moved. 
Your legs weren't crossed five minutes ago.

You think you're going insane;
you can cross your legs but can't get up to do a simple task?

It
is
right
there.

The dishes are there in a pile, 
therefore you don't have to hunt around
for them,

so
why
is
the
thought
of
doing it
so

difficult?

An hour has passed. 
No, an hour and forty minutes.

How has it been this long?
You were meant to do the dishes in five minutes;
after you had taken the time to 
think.

You know it will only take a few minutes of your day,
but you can't move.

And in not moving, 
you are wasting
so
much
time.

Okay, you can just think about it:
Step one: Unload the dishwasher-

Dishwasher?

Why is it called a dishwasher?

There are kids starving,
and you're thinking about the origin of the term 'dishwasher'?
We can't do anything about those kids as of right now,
so...

Five minutes has passed.
You're thinking about taking up pottery.

Then, 
you spot the dishes,
untouched.

How did you get so distracted?
Right, let's just... countdown. 
Yeah, a countdown should work.

Five

Four

Three

Two

One!

Get up. 

Nothing.
Not even a flinch.

It has now been an
hour
and
forty-seven minutes
since you were meant to do the dishwasher.
