What are some lifestyle choices or decisions you’ve made that most people would consider “unconventional”? — taking a different path, coloring outside the lines, etc. If those choices are in hindsight, how do you think about them now?

Wow, I love this: coloring fastidiously inside the lines as a form of unconventional behavior. Q: How much of your habit of e.g. not cussing so you think is held in place by not wanting to “break the streak”?
I ask because I had a stretch of many years in high school and early college of similar behavior (no cussing, no drinking, certain idiosyncratic writing habits), and I realized a lot of the reason I continued them stemmed from a fetish for consistency.

A few things (cussing/drinking) are streak based but I think most of my odd behavior is from a feedback loop. I do or don't do certain things → they become part of my identity → I behave in ways that match my self-constructed identity → self-reinforcing loop.
