I was wondering and thought had a Renoir type feel. Thanks.

I have exactly twenty-one minutes between post-snooze alarm and leaving my house.
Reminding me of a quote by Charles Bukowski: "How the hell could a person enjoy being awakened at 6:30AM, by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so."
How? I take a hour and that's already running it tight.
I wake up. I snooze 5 minutes, twice at most. Today I snoozed 3 times. Than I get up and make coffee, meanwhile I walk the dogs. When I get back the coffee is done and I can drink it. Than I make breakfast and lunch, brush my teeth and do my hair and I'm ready to go.
Sometimes I still miss my train, but my planning leaves me room to miss 2 trains. I just want to wake up easy. If that means setting my alarm at 0600 in stead of 0700, that's not a heavy price at all.
Because I have to be out of the house by 5:30am so I’m not waking up any earlier then I need to.
That makes sense. Back when my work started at 4 in the morning, I only took half an hour to do my routine.
This is obviously funny for the intended punchline but it's such a good satire of the most bullshit 'lifehacks', like, presumably the non-joke version would be something like allow yourself 30 minutes or 1 hour every morning and that's already laughable to begin with and amounts to "have more time" as the 'hack'. Gee thanks guys I'd never have thought of that.

"After Breakfast" (1890) by Elin Danielson-Gambogi for the curious!
Had to look it up and was pleasantly surprised by the relatable "modern" vibe. Me too girl, me too.
