<p>The most important thing to note is that there is some &ldquo;tipping point&rdquo; at which new habits become more or less automatic. The time it takes to build a habit depends on many factors including how difficult the habit is, what your environment is like, your genetics, and more.</p><p>That said, the study cited above found the&nbsp;<a href="https://jamesclear.com/new-habit">average habit takes about 66 days to become automatic</a>. (Don&#39;t put too much stock in that number. The range in the study was very wide and the only reasonable conclusion you should make is that it will take months for new habits to become sticky.)</p>
