Git seemed pointless until I lost a day's work
Backing up my code with commits now feels essential, not extra.

Even with commits, I've lost work, so it still feels like extra steps.

Look at your commit habits, not just the tool itself (sounds annoying, I know). If you're doing giant, messy commits once a day, it's like saving over the same file again. Try making tiny commits for each small change, even just fixing a typo, so you have way more save points to roll back to. That granularity saved me more than the commit button ever did on its own.
