I just bought an inflator for my compressor so maybe I’ll be more inclined to verify my pressure more often.
You are "aware of the rolling resistance issues..." you mean, you are aware of the much repeated myth about rolling resistance, so you compensate by over-inflating, which actually increases rolling resistance. Also, if you are getting a lot of flats, I know why. Over-inflation increases the likelihood of flats.
