If you have the opportunity, go for a couple of longish rides with someone else so they can see if your brake light goes on at seemingly inappropriate times. You'll get it figured out by habit rather than by modification. BTW, I have the same size foot as you and I was able to change my habit.
You don't know my wondering brain. It is constantly in motion and difficult to focus for any length of time. Not to say I can learn a new habit but it takes me awhile to do that.
I have made a point, OTOH, to constantly look at the clearance between the rotor and caliper. That's a dead giveaway of brake riding if those two pieces of steel get closer together. Before you know it, a groove will appear in the rotor indicating it is warping IF you ride the brake.
