There totally is a tradeoff between productivity and discipline.  People naturally &#x27;optimize&#x27; their workflows - which is usually a good thing.  The problem is our pattern recognition sucks at identifying subtleties like the correlation between skipping washing our hands and more patients developing infections.<p>Technology can help here a bit.  I don&#x27;t have a checklist item to &#x27;check hard drive space&#x27; - I have automated monitoring and alerting systems.  But if I didn&#x27;t you bet I&#x27;d be moaning and rationalizing while I shouldn&#x27;t have to log into each system every hour to verify it had free space, free-able memory, low IO, etc.  Which is why I work with computers instead of newborn babies.   Much easier to automate.
