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?


i remember vaguely that a few weeks ago i almost did a lot of work into reading a full email history but got distracted by something for 10 minutes and then an email that closed all the open questions i had came in.
I also try to ask my coworkers fast for help or get a snack when i notice i get stuck and need something that will unstuck me. (i try not to ask when i think i can figure it out in a reasonable time)
