Inspiring, but reality often doesn't play out this way. Eventually, trying new things wears you out and you stop appreciating them. Meanwhile there's a risk of increased stress from the neglecting activities that habits used to make easy, like managing your budget, brushing your teeth, and preparing cheap, tasty meals.
This is true, but the idea is to manage your habits. It's a gardening exercise. At any given moment you're trying to make certain things into habits so that they will run in the background, while breaking other habits so that you'll feel alive.
(But maybe not too alive: I can attest that it is certainly possible to exhaust yourself with an excessive rate of new experiences.)

I think that depends on the person. I certainly haven't found this to be true.
Even continually trying new things can become a habit. At that point, settling into a routine for a while might actually be a more novel choice.
