We all know we have habits. Some of them are good habits. And some of them are...well...not so good. The less often talked about cousin of a habit is a routine.

Habits and routines can impact situational awareness in both good and bad ways. But where do habits and routines come from? Does a habit turn into a routine? Or does a routine turn into a habit? Do habits and routines prevent complacency or contribute to it? All good questions. This episode explore our comfort with complacency.

This episode shares three examples of complacency, all happening within a 10-minute span of time. While the outcome was not tragic, the potential for tragedy was tremendous. And I got to witness all of it.

The ideas in your mind about problems and situations before you actually face the problem or situation is your pre-conception, or your pre-conceived notions about the problem or situation.  There are two fundamental problems with pre-conception. First, it’s completely imaginary. And second, it’s likely to be partially or completely incorrect.
