Swiss culture values precision. Making a habit of checking details is often expected in professional environments. While Austrians are often seen as more 'gemütlich' (relaxed), the 'Kaffeehauskultur' is a perfect example of a collective 'Gewohnheit'—making a habit of slow afternoons.

Technically yes, but it sounds like you are doing it on purpose. Usually, it's for positive or neutral routines.

'Angewöhnen' is more casual and can be accidental. 'Zur Gewohnheit machen' is a conscious project.

Yes, because 'Gewohnheit' is always feminine. 'Zur' = 'zu der'.

No, that sounds incomplete. You need the 'zur' structure.

Use 'sich etwas abgewöhnen'.

It's neutral-to-formal. You can use it with friends or at work.

Yes, e.g., 'Ich mache mir das Frühstück zur Gewohnheit.'

It's rare, but 'Es wurde sich zur Gewohnheit gemacht...' exists in very formal writing.

Because you are doing the action 'to/for' yourself (indirect object).

You can just say 'Ich mache das immer.' but it's less precise.
