If you know you only have to do those things for 17 minutes, sometimes it's easier to face doing them, even if they are painful (why does it hurt my hands so much to wash plates?). Or, you know, just use your 17 minutes to scroll on Reddit & eat the rice plain from the pan with your fingers after it cools. At breakfast time I really can't use my hands for anything at all (I can barely even hold my toothbrush, I have to just wedge it between my thumb & my index finger, because meds haven't kicked in yet, so I don't usually bother preparing anything, I just wash down my pills with a cup of coffee (set up the night before), & wait a few hours for them to kick in - but sometimes I'll nuke 1/4 cup warm water in a compote dish & then add in one of those apple&cinnamon oatmeal packets. I also know from experience that if you really can't extend any effort at all, green peas can be eaten while still frozen, they have protein and fiber in them, and they actually taste ok that way.
