dressed smartly, picked up that  coffee and arrived first at work.

As time passed, the mind got so good at its  routine that it got up automatically, dressed

up blindly, picked up that coffee without thinking  and worked without having to pay much attention.

didn't dress up... didn't pick up that  coffee... and didn't show up to work..

but only a bit. It got that coffee, but not  to go and it began working a little less.

With every day that went by, the little mind  got a bit more time — time to try new things,
