I’ve related a similar idea in the past to “Don’t do something you know is going to fail”. I’ll do something like go to balance a knife in my mouth while I grab something and then say “What the hell? What if I fall? Why would I do this thing?”. When I ask, I realize that there was a knowledge that I was making some tradeoff of noticeably higher danger-to-convenience than usual, and that I just barely noticed myself doing something that made no sense.
