Most Norwegians 'har for vane å starte dagen med en kopp kaffe'. Matpakke (Lunch box): It is a national habit to bring a simple bread-based lunch to work or school.

Use this phrase instead of 'alltid' (always) to describe personality. It sounds more observant and nuanced.
The 'For' Trap
Never say 'i vane'. It is the most common mistake for English speakers. Think: 'I am FOR my habits!'
