Thanks, this is a thing I was confused about, and now it seems so obvious in hindsight!
Yes, there are hundred brilliant ways how I could spend my day; so much better than my current habits. But they are hidden among the billion possible ways to spend my day, and most of them are not better than what I have now. (Further complicated by the fact that some things require many days of doing the right thing before the awesome effects manifest.)
If you keep introducing random changes in your life, you increase the chance you may randomly find one of those treasures (see The Luck Factor by Richard Wiseman). But that’s not the same as deciding “I am going to choose a better option right now”.
