the habit as a roommate

A recurring behavior drawn as a housemate who lives in your space, takes a share of it, and leaves things where you find them later. The space is what makes this one work. The figure has to physically occupy the room in the drawing, so what it displaces is visible rather than implied, and the argument stops being about willpower.

Example

Best when a habit is being described as a choice you keep failing to make rather than as something already occupying your hours.
