The Habit Blueprint: How Routines and Rituals Shape Our Lives
Behavioral Grooves Podcast
The Difference Between Habits and Routines; Routines Forge Automatic Habits
Habits and routines exist on a continuum, with habits being more automatic while routines involve a conscious element. Routines consist of sequences of actions that are performed regularly, but require higher degrees of planning and control. While habits often trigger automatic responses, routines are influenced by cues that necessitate conscious thought before action. For example, a routine may involve assessing the importance of a notification before responding, as opposed to automatically reacting to it. This complexity highlights the challenge of differentiating between habits and routines, as the transition from one to another can vary based on individual perception and the degree of conscious involvement.
