[ Habits ]

Habits and repetitive workflows help the workday run a bit more smoothly.

Habits and procedures protect us from decision fatigue.  They help by being a ‘given’, so there’s no decision.  Like deciding whether to have coffee or tea in the morning (coffee.  Always coffee).

Habits are “freedom in routine”.  Performing the same actions in the same context or location or decision point means that there really isn’t a decision, there’s no emotion, it’s automatic and situational. 

The brain can function more smoothly when it spots patterns and can respond without too much effort.

Create repetitive workflows or habits wherever possible.
