Creating a Habit

How many days does it take to establish a new habit?

Dr. Maxwell Maltz, a plastic surgeon, was the originator of the idea that it takes 21 days to establish a positive habit, or to process a change so it seems "normal".

His book, Psycho-Cybernetics, published in 1960, is still on the Top 50 Self Help Books list.

A 21-30 day window to establish a new habit is accepted as fact by today’s psychologists.
