Reply to comment by VukKiller in LPT Your body is on autopilot a lot more than you realize. Everyone's autopilot is an idiot. Life's easier and you screw up less when you realize this, and think intentionally and take actions accordingly so the autopilot can't screw things up. by 12jonboy12

Most tasks. Try doing any higher-functioning task without it and you will fail miserably. From playing an instrument to video games to driving. Think too much and they become impossible.

Yep. Try playing an FPS game like Apex. Consciously thinking about the buttons you need to press to mantle, reload, crouch and jump over an opponent while firing and aiming. Promise it will go horribly lmao its pretty cool really

Yep, I think that's called the flow state.
Not actively thinking too much, more using muscle memory and repeating what you know.
