Quite a few habits are born out of that very thing.

Being a grandpa is more fun than working
Business as usual here since my shop is at my home. I spent this morning in town stocking up on extra misc. supplies in anticipation of vendors having issues. I have enough inventory and work to do, I just need to make sure I keep enough shop supplies on hand to make it happen.
Without mentioning specific names, I was informed that a national manufacturer of industrial tape may focus their efforts more toward the medical side of their business making surgical masks. I stocked up on a year's worth of masking tape and other related materials just in case there's hiccup in their supply chain. If the national brand is limited, store shelves will clear out of the house brand, and then it's the same story as the other necessities we've seen disappearing lately.
I'm not trying to cause a panic, but how many other things (shop supplies such as tape, paper products, solvents, etc...) are at risk of quickly disappearing as they become diverted for other uses?

Back in my day it was the paddle with air holes. She whistled on the way down.

But they're not even half used yet...there's still room left to chew....all along, (and on ends) of the clips.

It's going to be race season here soon and I usually avoid it like the plague (no pun intended). Too much sponsorship crap. I'm thinking it may be a good side project if it doesn't get shut down entirely and if we're slow. Guy just picked up his stuff he ordered a couple weeks back and paid cash. 
If this continues into the summer, I'm thinking of just locking everything up and finding a nice little camping spot out in the middle of nowhere to avoid everyone.

Quit buggin' me
I'm using the downtime to attempt to train my cat to sniff out the COVID virus, as they do with dogs on some cancer wards finding melanomas before tests show anything. No good results so far. I have him watching CDC Youtube videos but every time I turn my back he switches back over to cat videos.

Just from my observations, something like that would have to be coupled with anxiety for that to happen.
In general, habits born out of anxiety are more destructive in nature. Again, just from my own observations.

I agree, she left the best parts untouched.
In general, habits born from the coca plant are hard to stop. ..That's just my exper...or observation.

Dont worry, everyone puts the squeegee in their mouth. I just haven't found a good place to put the knife...thing rolls all over the place. I'm lucky my head hasn't been cut open given the amount of times I've left it on a ladder step and it falls as I move it.

I like making signs
LMAO!!! I did a trailer yesterday and by 4:00 I was ready to throw that darn knife across the room!

This is one of the reasons I switched to Olfa snap blades. Unlike nice round, free rolling Xacto handles you have to work hard to get an Olfa stuck in your thigh or foot.
