When it comes to using my favorite apps, I'm definitely a creature of habit. No matter whether I'm using Spotify or TikTok, when I boot up an app that is part of my daily routine, muscle memory just takes over and I don't even really have to look at the part of the screen I'm tapping to pull up the content that I want, it just sort of happens.
