That one time a bad habit saved you?

There are things we consider as bad habits, habits like procrastinating, laziness towards the task you need to do and so on. Has there been a time any of these habits has actually saved you?
I recently joined a group on Whatsapp, hoping to learn a few things from there but since i joined the group, i had never visited the group, i kept procrastinating it until last someone from the group messaged me saying the group was a scam.

Sometimes procrastination can protect us from negative consequences, such as getting scammed. I experienced this before; good thing, I delayed my decision and avoided wasting time on the app.

I don't think there is any bad habit that have benefited me in any way. I do procrastinate but it have not profited me in any way.
