My problem with vim is that I keep pressing 'ESC' almost automatically to get out of insert mode. How to fix?!

I press it even though I'm out of insert mode.

Shouldn't have any effect... Long time vim user... I still do it all the time. Especially when returning to the terminal from another app.

I also mapped jj and kk (and other direction combos) to esc for when I forget to hit escape...
