We always hear about people’s bad habits but what’s your good habit? Mine is whenever I have a meal that has vegetables in it I always eat that first. That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.

    If I make a typo, rather than autocorrecting or deleting a few characters I delete the whole word and re-type it from the beginning. That way the correct spelling gets into my muscle memory and I’m much less likely to make the typo again in the future.

      One of us! Also for anyone who doesn’t know, you can do ctrl+backspace to instantly delete the entire word. It’s usually faster to do that and retype it than it is to hit backspace precisely enough times to get to the typo!

      If I make a typo, I try to keep as many of the letters on the page as possible - no need to throw them away and use new ones. Waste not.

            Maybe if you think real hard about a person going into a seizure and flinging themselves backwards, it’ll pop back in your head the next time you go to type “seize” and help you remember.

              I mean I know how it’s spelled, I recognize it when I get it backwards, it’s just muscle-memory fucks me about half the time.
