If changing habits is difficult, how about forming new ones? What does it take to create a habit, and how can we sustain it? Unfortunately, it is not that simple, with many forces at play - some appearing on the conscious level but some running in the background on an auto-pilot. Solution design needs to take habit formation into account.

Habits can be a good thing, they help automate certain behaviors and to save energy so that we can concentrate on more important things. Developing, sharing, supporting skills should not be a habit. It should be something you are thinking about for your self, your team, your organization and community.
