well using brain leads to cleverly freeing brain by outsourcing, don't you think?

Anecdote

I recently tried to ride a full train, but adding two new routines:

The effect was that I was so overly multi-tasked when leaving that I left my backpack (including a perl book and my passport) on the upper shelf.

If I had been clever, (and I actually thought about it) I should have kept the backpack on my lap, because that's a no-brainer.°

Lesson: If you change your routine, only do it one step at a time, otherwise fall back to no-brainers.

... and what is programming else than changing (sub-)routines??? ;-)

° Thankfully the only penalty is that I have to waste now 3 hours to recover my backpack from this train's home base in Monnem.
