This reminds me of the book The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande, which I love and keep meaning to write a review about one of these days.

When I teach a webinar for adults with ADHD, one of the mantras I try to instill in them is: You will probably never regret writing something down. But you might regret not writing it down.

Better to err on the side of caution. It only takes a second.
