These seem to mostly be a human problem. Out of the large number of things you can do, most likely you're only consciously aware of a small number of them, and even among those, you're fairly likely to fall back on doing the things you've done before. You could potentially do something new, something you haven't even considered doing that's wildly out of character, there's any number of such things you could do, but most likely you won't, you'll follow your routines and do the same proven things over and over again. You Can Just Do Things (TM), sure, but first you need to have the idea of doing them. That's the difficult hard part, fishing an interesting idea out of the dizzying expanse of possibilities.
