I recently read a really good book about habits[1]. I really liked how he described the benefit of habits, where essentially your brain can fully offload the effort of thinking when you're performing one like tying your shoes. One of the big takeaways from it for me was how its more difficult to break a habit than to "reprogram it". He does this by describing the three steps of the habit loop, the cue, action, and reward. To save you having to read the whole book I think this article does a good job of distilling the essentials[2], though the book was still a really interesting read if you have the time.
