"Days" is not a problem for an intact li-Ion battery, neither should "months" be.
What should not be allowed to happen is letting them self-discharge below a minimum safe voltage. Well designed batteries will make themselves unserviceable permanently (chargers will refuse to charge it) if that actually happens. Do not attempt to fix a battery that has done ...

Is it really healthy to simply forget it inside a drawer and after days of not using it just charge it and go to a photoshoot with it?
Days are not a problem. Back with my old 550D, I'd shoot around once a month, and with the obscene amount of spare chinese batteries (numbered like twalberg said), I'd switch them around each time so each would get used once ...

What you're doing now is fine. Li-ion does not need to be fully charged for storage. In fact, the best state to store them in is between 30-70% charge, but I'd probably only bother with that if storing them for many months.
It's also fine (encouraged, even) to recharge them when they're only partially discharged -- a very deep charge/discharge will ...

I don't know that there is a "best course of action", but here's what I do... I have multiple batteries, and I numbered them. When battery #1 gets low, I put in battery #2 and charge #1. If they've been sitting for a while, then the night before I'm going to spend enough time shooting that I may potentially need more than one, I'll top off the charge on the ...

Is it really healthy to simply forget it inside a drawer and after days of not using it just charge it and go to a photoshoot with it?
Yes. Lithium ion batteries in general are quite durable. They will age based on usage and calendar life, but the aging is much slower than for e.g. NiCd batteries that are forgotten for long amounts of time.
I just fear an ...

You do not have a 1150 mAh (milliamp-hours) charger. There's no such thing. It might be an 1150 mA (milliamp) charger, which means it's only providing 1.15 amps of charging current. Some batteries require a minimum current to charge very well.
My Samsung smartphone, for instance, requires a 1500mA charger. If I try to use a 700 mA (0.7A) or 1000 mA (1.0A) ...

According to No Film School: Having Trouble Charging Canon LP-E6 DSLR Batteries? You May Not Be the Only One, the blinking light may indicate the battery cannot be charged. Likely, the charger has detected the battery voltage is outside the parameters the charger is designed for.
Battery voltage varies with charge levels. Voltage measurement seems to be ...
