Habits are very interesting; they can happen naturally or can be orchestrated by you or someone else. The majority of our habits don't require our permission.

For example, if you are used to drinking coffee just after waking up. You would do that irrespective of you brushing your teeth or not. This is a clear example of how habit has more influence on you than even common sense.

Imagine, you have a test or some important work the next day, and you need to prepare for it. A good habit would be to prepare early and chill for the rest of the day. But if you procrastinate, you are vulnerable to unforeseen hurdles, which usually lies in an important task.
