Many educators of all regions, like those of Coronado High School, have the underlying question of whether intelligent kids are a result of their habits; according to Success by Design, in a 2024 study, Habits are the brain’s way of preserving energy and allowing people to perform tasks subconsciously. There are a few examples like academic work, sport IQ, and getting ready in the morning, but there are also negative tolls on mental health like unhealthy coping and stagnation. Good habits preserve energy in students while also boosting confidence, reliability, mental well-being, and structure.
