Trivia Question
Q: Almost half of our day is spent doing this which actually takes less energy. What is it?
A: Habitual actions. Same things done automatically every day.
• ~40% of daily actions are habits, not conscious decisions (Duke University).
• The brain can perform habitual actions while using less energy, which is why habits feel “automatic.”
• Once a habit is formed, the cue → routine → reward loop can stay active even if motivation disappears.
