The one I am fighting with is going on "autopilot" and relaxing after I've won some material in a game. I start thinking about things unrelated to the game at hand, which leads to, you know what. This bad habit cost me many points over the years, and is very hard to break. Do you have some "pet" bad habits?

I have the habit of relying too much on my opponent's mistakes than my skills. Some times I leave some pieces hanging expecting my opponent to not notice it.
