the toilet paper heuristic:

Happened just to me.
I have produced big work, well this one I did at the toilet. First, I felt eased.
But I did not look before, if there was enough paper left. Perhaps I was still sleeping, because I woke up recently.

When I grabbed the paper, I noticed: will this be sufficient?

You could now say:
Man, don't you buy/store enough paper in the toilet?
Well, I did not buy any before, because I thought the remaining would suffice until today. And today I wanted to buy new.


So, in that situation I hoped: this must suffice. And used then the paper wisely.

I was alone for the time being in the appartment.
So, I could have also gotten a substitute from the kitchen, but you could imagine, how I would look like: pants down walking through the appartment. Since nobody there, also no problem
Well, I could also use water to clean my a..


This incident let me rethink my visits in the toilet lately.
I do not always use the paper wisely, when I visit the toilet. I take too much paper often.
If I think about it now, I can save even money with this, when concentrating on the usage of paper (well, it may be not much money, but still...) and also this saves the environment.


So, the toilet paper for me has an analogy to the ressources in testing.
We plan wisely our ressources for testing, but there are situations,
where you have no toilet paper anymore (can happen due to many reasons).
So, either accept this fact always and hope that the ressources have to suffice as it is, but well this can have shitty outcome (I do not want to get in a situation where I have to use water).
If you are in such a situation and the ressources are not sufficient for the time being, try to find substitutes.
There are always substitutes. You just have to imagine, how you can use xyz to fulfill your needs.
Or do not wait until it gets to this situation, start using the toilet paper wisely and plan in advance by observing and having always some more toilet paper in reach.
