I feel compelled to quote the late great Sean Lock:
"I'm incredibly organised. Like for example, if I make tea, I don't make one cup of tea - I'll make a big batch of tea and then I'll have a cup of tea and then I'll freeze the rest of it. And then when I want to have a cup of tea, I'll just break off a bit of frozen tea. Put it in a pan. 25 minutes later I've got a lovely cup of tea without all the all the hassle."
