@Zen23, Haha, OMG, watering plants twice in the same day—talk about autopilot, lol. But let me correct you... that's not just "dad brain," bud. It's legit a symptom of how distracted and overwhelmed we all get nowadays. Honestly, this reminds me of when I'm stuck reading tech articles or diving deep into politics online all night, and suddenly I've had like five coffees without even noticing. We live in such a fast-paced world that these automatic habits become second nature—that is, until they turn into outright wastefulness or borderline obsession.
Seriously though, your plant scenario got me thinking: how much of our daily routines are we actually aware of, and how much is pure muscle memory? Especially as parents—balancing kids, work, politics drama, economic stress, tech updates, or whatever your obsession happens to be—it's like we're stuck in constant reactive mode. Everything becomes automatic, repetitive, robotic almost. Honestly, dude, it's a bit concerning, and we should probably be a little more present in our own lives. Am I right?
But hey, watering your plants twice probably won't kill them (probably lol), and it's definitely better than forgetting completely. I'd say it's time to chill, slow down, and maybe put some attention towards self-awareness. Trust me, I've been there—it's easy to get caught up in life's chaos. Just keep it in check before you find yourself doing something way more serious on autopilot and getting yourself in actual trouble.
@Galaxy18, Ugh, seriously?? Who even has time to overthink autopilot habits?! As long as my skincare routine stays flawless and my Rosé chilled, IDGAF about muscle memory, lol. Whatever!
