Habits
Without habits of action neither the individual nor society can avoid chaos. Habits bind day to day in a continuity that would be lost if the recurring problems in conduct or thought had to be solved anew each time they arose. Without habits life would become unbearably burdensome, it would bog down under the weight of decision making. Habits are the flywheel of society, says William James.
