I’ve noticed that in everyday life, when you’re testing some habit choices to see if they’re working for you, it’s better to leave a habit that doesn’t seem to be working for you, to make it easier to determine that, because otherwise you won’t be sure later if it turned out to work otherwise, habit one or habit two or habit three.
This reminds me of how I used to do mod compilations, it might seem like a good idea to add all the desired ones at once, but then if some mod is missing or some extra, you won’t be able to figure out which one. So they should only be added and removed one at a time.
With habits the same, only even more difficult, because they begin to act gradually and do it much slower, and then there are factors beyond your control. And I used to assume that it doesn’t make sense to waste time and effort on following useless habits.
However, since it is also experimentation, it was worth bearing in mind that any change would in any case complicate the analysis of what worked, it is better to keep them until you find a stable working combination, and then remove them one at a time, too, in case certain habits somehow worked only together.
