Nothing really of that sort, but a kind of reversal - or over-rationality on occasions - being influenced by Frank Gilbreth's theories of Time & Motion as a young man. My breakfast routine is one such:

1. Place a mat on the dining-room table
2. Place laptop on mat an go into kitchen
3. Go to sink and switch on the kettle socket electrical point
4. Pour water from water filter into kettle
5. Re-fill water filter
6. Take cafetiere from cupboard
7. Put a heaped measure of coffee into cafetiere
8. While there, open cutlery drawer and remove two dessert spoons
9. Move left along worktop and place spoons on worktop
10. Open cupboard below worktop and take out two cereal bowls
11. Place bowls on worktop
12. Turn round and go to worktop on opposite side, taking one bowl
13. Open cereal jar and place 3 Weetabix in bowl
14. Close jar and take one cup from upper cupboard
15. Go back to other worktop with filled bowl and cup
16. Remove milk from fridge and pout some into bowl and cup
17. Back along worktop to place cup next to cafetiere and switch kettle on
18. Back into dining room while kettle boils to read email, etc. on laptop
19. When kettle boils, back into kitchen to fill cafetiere and bring cereal bowl to dining table
20. Continue reading while eating cereal
21. When cereal is eaten, take bowl into kitchen and pour coffee into cup
22. Resume coffee and reading in armchair

Then I'm ready for the day!

When you analyse what you do in detail in this way, it looks absolutely finicky and anal, but I'm sure we all do this to some extent. The kitchen routine developed itself many years ago when I was at work - to prepare breakfast as quickly and logically as possible in order to get out to work bright and early. I've been retired for 7 years now, with no need to be efficient, but the routine still holds - and it actually amuses me to retain it. I suppose that's where the irrationality might come in!
