I get a kick how we have modified the English language without looking in a dictionary. A habit is an article of clothing, monks and other religious people wear. Over the years it became clothing that was common for people to wear to do specific things. Suddenly it became what people do on a regular bases. I'm not a monk and since I'm retired I don't have specific clothing to do anything.
If, given your question and how you wanted it used I guess there are 2 things. Looking at my blog every morning when I am having coffee, and my wife and I watching Coronation Street while having supper.
There are other things that have been modified in the English language. Mostly in a strange way by Americans. One example, lock, stock, and barrel, it comes from "lot" (the land you farmed), "stock" (your farm animals), "and barrow" (the grave site on your land).
In my view some modifications are kind of ok, other should never of happened.
