It's less of a habit and more of a disposition for me at least. At some point I learned/tricked myself to being disgusted by consumption. I wouldn't say I'm anywhere near having a perfect creation to consumption ratio, but I tend to judge myself (and others tbh) based on how much I'm generating vs destroying/taking and couple my self-esteem to how well I think I'm accomplishing a good ratio. (I don't recommend this as my self-esteem is terrible, but the reward is a bias toward creating.)

Mostly by increasing the signal velocity, fidelity, and divisibility of value creation. V4V is a marketing term that doesn't mean much more than "an economy where one wasn't formerly present on the internet." So the question amounts to "how does an economy increase our productivity?" So the answer is kind of obvious I think.
