To paraphrase your comment: "Connecting the ritual of prayer to another task that you want to accomplish, helps in establishing consistency in doing that other task." Yes, that is a useful tool, to achieve the daily consistency that avoids the "Montage Fallacy". (And it even can elevate your comment to fantastic ;-) )

Less religiously inclined people can easily adapt this concept to other things that they do daily.

Now you are not just promoting prayer but giving a useful analogy. I was a little bit fighty yesterday and perceived a manipulative ploy in your original comment, when it maybe was just a little bit of accidental omission, because coherently and concisely stating something in writing is hard. The latter is something I am also struggling with. And maybe I was going hard on you because you started off with a well stated argument.
