There's an episode of "Bear in the Big Blue House", where Bear says that you should go to the bathroom even if you're in the middle of doing something.
I took that a bit too literally, and thought that it meant that if you were in the middle of doing something, you *had* to go to the bathroom.
So, whenever I set out to do something, I'd pause and go to the bathroom whenever I was halfway through, regardless of whether nature was actually calling.
