뜻
To regularly do something until it becomes routine.
문화적 배경
The concept of 'Ordnung' (order) is deeply linked to habits. A person who 'sich etwas zur Gewohnheit macht' is seen as reliable and predictable, which are high virtues in German society. 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. Modern German speakers in the tech scene use this phrase to talk about 'Bio-Hacking' and productivity routines.

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