One thing Habit is good for is removing the need to choose what housekeeping task to do next. Having set up my dailies, I can follow them on automatic pilot. I used to waste time wondering which task to do first and whether a task actually needed doing or not, which often just led to me thinking, "Nah... I don't feel like it." But as far as possible now I just mechanically follow my dailies. No thinking, just doing. In fact I just realised earlier today that the reason household tasks often didn't get done in the past was because I simply forgot about them until too late. It only takes a couple of minutes to scoop the clothes out of the basket, shove them in the machine and switch it on, but if I didn't remember until I leave the computer to make dinner, it's too late because we don't want the noisy spinning while we're trying to have a peaceful meal.
