Habitualization
Captions available
The idea
Habitualization is the process by which repeated actions become routines, so that a way of doing something turns into the way it is done.
In practice
A team's improvised Monday check-in becomes, within a year, the meeting nobody questions.
Where people slip
The routine keeps its authority long after the reason for it is forgotten.
