Most people think that the value of a habit is you don’t have to think about it. It frees up your brain to do other things. However it doesn’t free up your brain at all. There is a piece of your cortex that is devoted to that control.
A habit is wired so deeply in our brains that we perform them automatically. This allows you to do simple tasks every day without thinking about them. Like driving the same route to work.
