None of your Soylent making procedure sounds unusual to me. Not being able to form procedural habits of a certain kind (or not choosing to) are entirely possible.
What I am wondering is if you are lacking muscle memory, which many physical habits are an instance of. Perhaps I’m just using the word “habit” more inclusive way than you are, I’m classifying things as habits that you wouldn’t. Do you think that is the case? Not having muscle memory sounds impossible to me—if you can walk and have a conversation at the same time then you have muscle memory (basically the ability to put something in auto-pilot).
If you can play any reasonably complicated piece of music then you have muscle memory.
If you consistently make the same mistakes when playing a sport and have a least a tiny bit of difficulty correcting them then you have muscle memory.
Not all habits are muscle memory, and not all instances of muscle memory are habits. But a lot of habits are muscle memory: crossing your legs when you sit, leaning on one leg when you stand, lip biting, cracking knuckles to name a few things.

Do you have muscle memory?
I do have muscle memory, at least for basic things. I do not think that should be lumped in with habits, for the most part.
