I develop my work habits at my actual job, that I get paid for. There are easier and more time worthy ways to develop work habits, having a job or playing a sport to just name a few.
I don't really like the term "work habits." I think if you really care about what you're doing you will work hard at it and get it done.
Of course cheating is for the short term, it's purpose is to get us through this bullshit excuse for an education system and not waste our time learning irrelevant shit that we are going to completely forget.
