    This research highlights a sub-optimal behaviour in the average human.

    You probably have this suboptimal behaviour. You can fix it easily. Simply look for something you do every day, such as commuting, brushing your teeth, booting up your laptop, etc, and try doing it another way.

    For example, every night I leave my glasses under my pillow. About 10% of the time, my glasses fall behind my bed and take 10 mins for blind-me to find. I have now made a storage box for my glasses to save me time, but it shouldn't have taken me 10 years to come up with that idea!
