I wanted to pass on my habit.
I use ear and eye protection all the time. I make it a point to return them to the same place after each use.
After I setup for an operation, I make a slow deliberate walk across the shop to put on the safety gear.
This "calms" me down and I feel much more alert when its time to do the cutting.
The mantra I use is, "If I don't have time to walk 4 feet and put on the gear, do I really have time to do this operation safely?"
