It is worth pointing out that a corallary of this is "Conscious Living" (or
in the case of the list "Conscious posting").  These are not new ideas.  I
can easily follow such ideas back to those of  Gurdjieff & Ouspensky (see
wikipedia).  They had an exercise called something like the "Stop exercise"
where they would tell their students to stop and notice precisely what they
were doing at an instant in time. Such a perspective may have common threads
in such philosophies as Zen and/or Buddhism.

Many list problems can be related to "engaging fingers before engaging
brain".
