Sometime during my university, in one of the humanities classes, I read about ‘rituals’ people have, not religious rituals but more of like tiny acts people do before they do stuff.
An example was how doctors had their own ‘rituals’ for washing their hands before surgery, or how athletes (sports competition ppl specifically?) would do the same actions everytime before they play.
It puts you in the correct state of mind to do the thing, sorta acts as compartmentalization? Like for doctors there is “clean area” and “not disinfected area” right? so there is even a clear line between the spaces and the activities you do in different areas
