Before the brush is even wet, the whole sensory sequence is already waiting: bristles, foam, mint and a taste that hangs around. One brief bathroom task can therefore sit untouched for far longer than its clock time makes sense of.
- standing at the sink and delaying the first touch of the brush
- using almost no toothpaste because the foam quickly becomes too much
- gagging when mint flavour spreads across your mouth
- putting off bedtime because toothbrushing is still waiting
Looks vs reality
The same Experience can look very different from the outside than it feels on the inside.
They just forgot.
I am actively avoiding a wall of sensory 'nope'.
They're being lazy.
My brain is overwhelmed and can't execute the command.
They don't care about their teeth.
I care deeply but the cost of doing it right now feels too high.
It only takes two minutes!
It's a two-minute sensory assault.
