"It seemed like a good idea at the time" covers a multitude of things.

What's disconcerting is when I realize at the time that something isn't a good idea, and go ahead anyway. Not that it will have mixed results, but that it's just not a good idea: like eating that one more cookie that I really don't have room for.

Well, doing things that you know aren't a good idea can be useful, too. Sometimes it serves to remind you in a more visceral, memorable way that, yes, that still really is a bad idea. And then again, sometimes you know somthing isn't a good idea, and it turns out that you're wrong. And that can be rilly, rilly cool.
