Barely related, but if you haven’t learned how to tie shoelaces instantly, you should:

I’ve been doing this for nearly 20 years.

I had to use the secure knot: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm

Not sure why, but single knots always come undone for me pretty quickly - including the Ian Knot you linked. I used to do a double knot and now the secure Ian Knot.

Since you've read about knots I'm sure you know this, but it's worth mentioning for others in the same situation - if you find your laces come undone very easily with a simple traditional knot it may be that you're not balancing the starting knot and the finishing bow, leading to a "granny knot" - https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/grannyknot.htm
