ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

monads

Monads are a way to make things like programs easier to manage, like a set of instructions or a toolbox. They help out by organizing everything into one place, like a special box that holds only what you need to solve a problem. They are useful because when you have a task to do, the monad can be given instructions and it will do what it needs to do to get the job done. This can save you time and make it easier to keep track of things. So instead of having to remember what step you need to do next or where certain tools or instructions are, you can just tell the monad to do it and it will do the work for you.
