That's the weird phenomenon of the brain not recognising negatives, so we should frame advice to ourselves in positive terms. "Hold on to the keys on the way up the steps" is going to get us through the door at the top a lot more efficiently than "Don't drop the keys down the drain again". o

Once a concept like whacking one's head on a low-lying bit of cave gets in, the brain finds it irresistible.

People *are* weird.
