Caught my own phishing test at a Starbucks in Dallas

I was sitting in a Starbucks in Dallas last Tuesday running a phishing simulation for my company. I sent the fake email to 200 employees and then immediately clicked a link in my own personal email without thinking. It was one of those "your package is delayed" scams that I always warn people about. How do you guys keep yourself from getting sloppy with personal accounts after running so many tests?

Man 200 employees though. I gotta say I don't really buy the whole "I got sloppy" thing. You run these tests for a living so you know better. Feels like you just clicked it out of habit and now you're making excuses. Pay more attention, it's that simple.
