Using experiments to get around habits

I often feel the need to clean my workspace before i start working on something. this can be bad when i really need to do something, but i feel compelled to do it because somehow it feels more productive

So I framed it as an experiment to myself: do i actually feel any difference when i don't do it. This is a good experiment because we have the potential of being wrong.

Habits are often just beliefs we haven't tried to disprove hard enough. Either we realize their validity or discard them.
