i usually explain it like that:
on a good day when i make tea i only see 3 steps 1) boil water 2) take out a mug & tea 3) pour water over tea bag in the mug & enjoy!
on a bad day when i make tea i see 11 steps 1) pour water into kettle 2) turn the kettle on 3) find mug 4) take out mug 5) find tea 6) take out a tea bag 7) put tea bag in mug 8) make sure the water doesn't reach boil [most teas need 90°C to brew well] 9) pour the water into the mug 10) don't forget to take the mug with you 11) don't forget to drink once it cools down
it's the same action, and on all days i can easily do 3 actions, the problem begins when those 3 actions start looking like 11 actions
You forgot 12) Put the tea away 13) put the kettle away 14) clean the mug 15) put the mug away.
unfortunately for the future me those are considered fully optional
Future you will do those happily, it will be easier later
