I lived near a train station and walked there each day to commute. After about 5 years, a neighbour told me my walk was wasteful. If I instead set off *in the wrong direction* I could go down a street that led to a street that went on an angle and so reduced total walking time. This was before google maps, and even though i could have checked it on a regular map, it never occurred to me that was possible. It saved about 40 seconds off a 10-minute walk, which makes a difference!

tl;dr you can get stuck doing things inefficiently for a very long time for want of imagination.

There's a lot to be said for varying your life a bit over time, doing things in stupid ways, trying odd ideas, just to open up the possibility space that you stumble on something good.
