I agree with everything @MaximumCuddles said. I would just add that matching socks when you do laundry is less work than doing it later, but you have to do it now, so it's a signal you have a suboptimally-high time discounting preference. A trivial thing, by itself, but if I were evaluating if I wanted to share a life with you, I'd be on the lookout for whether this trait echoes in the rest of your behavior.
I'm not really up with the hip lingo from the kids these days. What is "torched"?
I don't think this is actually right because mornings before work are kind of dead time anyway for most people. As in, if I've got to catch the 7:45 train, for instance, if I didn't spend 15 seconds looking for a sock pair it's not as if I'm really going to do anything else with that time, so even if you add up those 20 seconds over a year I haven't actually 'lost' any time because nothing would change if I sorted the socks in advance.
More pertinently though I don't think anyone is that ruthlessly efficient with their time as to quibble over a few seconds rummaging around the sock drawer. No one here at any rate, after all we are currently on an internet forum talking about socks.
