Habits sometime are enemies. There are certain times when I want to make good habits. Like the habit to wake up at a certain time and the habit to do morning ritual - excercise, bathing and brushing on all days of week rain or shine. But good habits are not always good and with time they might go sour.
This has happened to me so many times. I start on something - intially everything is well and good. I have lots of ideas, i participate enthusiatically and work hard but as the time progresses, habits are formed and fun from doing things is gone. Habits and repetitive work are enemies of a creative mind.
I have changed 3 jobs in last 4 years and the reason for leaving for the last job has always been these habits and my inability to break free or employer indifference/inability to offer options.
The HBR article below talks about these habits from a differerent perspective and help understand what need to be done to break free.
