How do you start your day? It\\u2019s a more complicated question than you think \\u2013 and that\\u2019s because you don\\u2019t think about it very much. Quite a lot of what we do, we do every day. We create order by forming habits. From the way we brush our teeth to how we drive a car, ride a bike, or even tie our shoelaces \\u2013 these are things we do every day without thinking. And it is a good thing we do because if we had to make multiple choices for every single simple activity our brains would just clog up. But there are good habits and bad habits. Ones that help us through the day and ones we cannot control. Shiulie Ghosh explains the difference between these behaviours and why, one way or another, we are all creatures of habit.
