  1. Not making your bed. It only takes a few minutes, but some people never had to do it as kids, so they still don't do it.

  3. Not cleaning your computer keyboard until it's filthy. You should wipe it down every few days, so it never gets gross. Once you're used to having a filthy keyboard, you never clean it.
  4. Not brushing your teeth before bed. You probably do most of the time, but if you get lazy or fall asleep on the couch, you decide it's not important. Once you start doing it, you tend to do it more and more.
  5. Letting the trashcan in your kitchen overflow. You just keep pushing it down with your hand, because you're too lazy to take it out.
