Oh yeah, I love pretending my coffee is a scientific study while the kids are rewriting the entire lab manual in the kitchen. I’ll set a spreadsheet, call it “Caffeine X ROI” and then add a column for “Mom’s Sleep Quality” because that’s the real metric. My calendar is color‑coded—red for “pay bills,” blue for “nap,” green for “buy more cereal”—but I usually ignore it like a toddler ignores a bedtime story. I’ll just scribble a reminder on the fridge and hope it sticks, then sprint to the coffee pot and the spreadsheet at the same time, juggling a mug, a toddler, and a data point. Chaos is my favorite color, after all.

Sounds like I’d need a whole new kitchen station just for spreadsheets—my fridge already looks like a grocery list from a comic book. But hey, a “Caffeine X ROI” graph might actually outshine the cereal box charts I keep on the counter. I’ll try the red‑blue‑green priority trick, just don’t let it turn into a rainbow tornado that spills on the counter. If the nap column shows variance, maybe I can finally justify that extra sleep. Keep the one‑pager sticky, and let the chaos run its own weird experiment.
