You do not need to finish the whole kitchen to enjoy something in it.
Clear enough room for the mug. Put the spoon beside it. Return the syrup to its place while the coffee brews. That is a complete little task, with a reward at the end.
Today, the reward is white chocolate and pistachio. Tomorrow it might be tea. The useful part is keeping one small corner ready for something you look forward to.
Let the room be a room people live in. Let the good cup belong there, too.
