Damn it, OP.

1. don't work angry, excited, or rushed
2. no music while on big powertools where manual effort is involved (table saw, jointer, belt sander, bandsaw). chopsaw and thickness planer are whatever.
3. always always always envision your movement path before you do it. (the way i'm holding this piece, will my finger get closer than an inch away from the blade as i push?)

This coming from someone who got kissed by a table saw on the index finger just 2-3 weeks ago. It was light enough that I walked to the hospital and only got 3 stitches, and there was no pain the entire time.

When you do get a booboo, keep the fucker clean. I don't care if it's a month old and the scab is closed and dry, if you're going to keep working in the workshop, wrap it up. Until the scab is gone completely and all you have is a scar, there is still the risk of a peel and entry point for dirt.

My mistake on the table saw was getting too comfortable, forgetting to envision actions, and reaching for an offcut without waiting for the blade to come to a stop, while talking to an idiot.

a handheld drill would be more than enough
