routinize
Turn into habit
Routinize means to make something into a routine—to standardize or systematize a process so it becomes regular and predictable.
Organizations routinize procedures to increase efficiency: We've routinized the onboarding process so new hires know exactly what to expect.
What gets routinized often loses spontaneity but gains reliability.
