I never fly
my 1-26 just to fly, I always have a mission in mind on every flight.
Without that, a guy just ends up picking up bad habits, sloppy
airmanship, and never progresses. Moffat had it right 50 years ago.

Roger that. Always have something in mind, even if its a mini-triangle:
50-100 km with the field at its centre and have that dialled into your nav
system both to check that out and to keep sharp at hitting turnpoints.

At least, thats what I do. Our field's close proximity to Class D
airspace (5500 overhead our field) and NOTAMed airspace are both good
reasons to always fly with the navsystem freshly updated. About the only
time I fly without these preparations is if its the first flight in the
season or, during winter, to stay current and knowing that even a good
winch launch is very unlikely to get me more than a 15 minute flight.
