Love is Verbing

my favorite habit

Following on from /habits-2 it occurs that...

Habits are like children which you adopt, except you wear them. Don't let them wear you out!

Like children they grow and you may eventually lose them.

They may also find themselves getting handed down to your own children...

I'm wondering what your favorite hand-me-down habit might be? And if you've ever been tempted to wear someone else's and whether it was a good or poor fit?

My favorite hand-me-down is 'Off! Off! Off!' from my father, checking the plugs in the kitchen every night... And the best habit I've acquired is probably the 2 minute rule from 'Getting Things Done' (although I've extended it to 3 minutes) i.e. if I can do the thing in 3 minutes I do it now.
