Best and Worst Habits

[Noedig]

To me, habit and routine are useful ways of getting stuff done without expending willpower.

Also a way of trying to avoid giving energy to harmful behavior patterns. Expressed beautifully here :

"Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words. Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions. Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits. Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character. Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny"

My best habits: Maintaining a week planner, gym twice a week, calling my mother, spending time with each child, spending date time with wife (*separately* from "issues" time), allocating time for life maintenance (groceries/DIY) each week, monthly investment / spending review.

My worst habits: picking my nose sometimes (what can I say, it's gross), overeating when abundance presents itself, nagging my kids in the wrong way; long gaming sessions <enjoyable, but lost time>; thoughtless spending <midnight ebay or banggood purchases, I am looking at you>. I suspect my wife would identify an alternate set of these: But I'm not asking!

What are yours, good and/or bad?

best: skepticism
worst: restlessness

probably traits rather than habits, but habits seem like an implementation detail of those
