It's competing priorities.
There are numerous positive things I can do. However I cannot do them all at the same time.
So sometimes I will not do what I know I should do. Because I am busy doing something else that I also know I should do.
It's also habit.
The human being is a habit-forming creature. We easily fall into regular patterns of behaviour. Getting out of those patterns is not necessarily easy.
Eg a person may
know that it's a great idea to do X, Y and Z, but the fact is that his habitual daily lifestyle does not contain X, Y and Z. So instead the person will do what he habitually does.
