1/2 cup of oats and a cup of soya milk leave in fridge overnight, add seeds and blueberries or banana in the morning
How do YOU make porridge?

PSJW overnight oats aren't porridge, and, have their own thread.
Its like steak, if you have good quality ingredients you don't need to adulterate with other, expensive, delta ingrediants, just a pinch of salt, and get the cooking right.
The golden spurtle award defines traditional porridge, I'm in agreement with that, otherwise it's not cricket, but, I use rolled in a hurry.

Scotts oats in a saucepan, add milk, stir slowly, add carnation milk, stir until creamy, pour into bowl, add some fine brown sugar, stir in until all light brown...eat 
gonna get a lot of hate for this....
tear open little bag, put in bowl, fill bag to line with milk, pour over oats. put in microwave
Used to do it on the hob, with butter and milk, brown sugar... but realized that I don't like oats enough to put the effort in and just want something warm to put in my face when I'm still mostly asleep in the morning

You certainly are. Those bags are mostly sugar. It really doesn't take much longer to do proper oats, that's the thing. If you're really strapped for time soak them overnight and you can literally warm them up in the pan (or even microwave if you must)
Oh. Trying those bag things was my first time trying porridge. I thought I was being healthy when eating them topped with half an apple and some blueberries. Sounds like that isn't the case.
Is there anything similarly quick/convenient I can buy which is healthier? The overnight thing doesn't quite work for me since I tend not to know if I feel like eating them and decide just before.
Well if you're really trying to be healthy you have to put in some effort. Goes for a lot of things, especially food. Cooking from scratch means you know exactly what goes in your food.
Honestly it doesn't take that long to cook porridge, but I'd check out the overnight oats thread. We do 2 days worth at a time, it's fine to sit in the fridge probably for 3 days if you decide you don't want it one day.

exactly, multi-tasked, it is <15minute cook, with <2mins prep, needs no attention/stirring once you have figured hob dial setting;
less attention than uwave
I don't get the egg deal - delta calories ? ... but if it's a corn fed egg - yellow peril

oats + water +microwave + a little honey + a little skimmed milk = yum
although for the less conventional i make them them with chicken stock and put avocado and 2 poached eggs on top

Another microwaver here. 1/2 pint of milk, just the right amount of oats, tablespoon of sugar, 2-3 mins in the microwave, stirring about half way through and adding more milk or oats to get the right consistency.
I buy Tesco's own brand "Scottish porridge oats". £1.10 for a kilo. https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254853776
