Picking Up Bad Habits from Others

You can pick up a bad habit without choosing it, and the habit that is not chosen is the one most advice doesn't fit, because it runs on repetition in shared space rather than on a decision. The piece traces the transmission the way it moves — the convenience channel that carries eating habits, the group norm that settles at work, the tone that leaks through conversation — and builds a defense at each stage.

You get a channel check to run against your own week and the strong-stay defense for the habits that have already settled. Repurpose it for your audience as your own.
