Catching Falling Objects

I don’t remember exactly when, but at some point I realized that when certain objects are about to fall, it is better to let them fall as to catch it, instead of rushing to try and grab it. When one realizes an object is about to fall, one frantically lunges for it in panic, yet with little time to stop it. However, one has time to prepare oneself to catch it. And so I put my hands in the path of the object, where it will fall, knowing I will get it. Such an act seems like the wrong kind of investment; letting an object fall, a counter-production. But in this case the action is disguised and the best option is that which comes through counter intuition, a counter-reaction.
