Had been meaning to install those plug-in air fresheners but couldn’t be bothered to buy them for the past month. Then yesterday I learned that those fragrances are dispersed alongside a bunch of nasty VOCs. Looks like my inaction saved my lungs a bit of damage

What instances of laziness or forgetfulness have worked out in your favor?

    Regarding fairly dangerous sports like snowboarding, downhill skiing, BMX, skateboard, unharnessed climbing etc: I (almost) never do the “one last run”, and those are famously the ones you get injured on. When you are tired and it’s time to go home and rest, I go home and rest instead of doing “just one more” and getting hurt.

    I’ve still injured myself but not nearly as much as I might have if I had pushed myself beyond the tiredness. It’s hard to prove the injuries you haven’t sustained though…
