I get flak for testing every outlet, but it caught a reverse polarity yesterday.
My coworkers think it's overkill, but that mistake could have been dangerous. Now they see why I'm careful.

Good habits only seem like overkill until they save you.

But sometimes those little checks become a trap. I knew a guy who spent so much time on his morning routine and checking lists that he was always late. The habit of double-checking everything can waste more time than it saves if you're not careful. It can turn into anxiety, not a safety net.

Totally feel that, @charles_green. My habit of checking I have my keys before locking the door felt silly until I avoided getting locked out in the rain last week. Same with double-checking meeting times on my calendar. It takes two seconds but saved me from missing a call yesterday. Those little things add up, even if they seem like too much work at first.
