Had a beer with my old boss last week. He said, 'You don't need a perfect system, you need a system that works when you're sick.'

That's a great way to put it. Makes you wonder how many plans fall apart because they only work when the person who made them is at 100%. A system that needs you to be perfect isn't a system at all, it's just a list of chores. The real test is when you can barely think straight and things still mostly function.

Barely think straight" is why my backup keys live in the neighbor's garage.

Exactly. So what's your backup for when the neighbor isn't home? I've locked myself out with the spare keys in someone else's house before. That's a whole new level of problem.
