I'm glad that your manager got to see you being competent at a task that sounds deeply and recursively infuriating. (I am sorry for the nature of the task.)
I optimize like that too, only I cut myself off at about three or four steps since that's generally how many hands I have. The place where I go further than that is when I'm leaving the house in the morning for a whole day, and I have to figure out everything I need for the day. (Yesterday: yoga mat, work laptop, date clothes, motorcycle stuff, tea canisters for refill. Today: present for friend, Crossfit outfit, running shoes, Kindle, mail.)
