=== Study: How long it takes to form a habit ===
James Clear, author of the book Atomic Habits wrote: "Phillippa Lally is a health psychology researcher at University College London. In a study published in the ''European Journal of Social Psychology'', Lally and her research team decided to figure out just how long it actually takes to form a habit."<ref>[http://jamesclear.com/new-habit Cognitive psychology research: It takes 66 days for the average person to develop a new habit so it is automatic]</ref>

*[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ejsp.674 How are habits formed: Modelling habit formation in the real world]: ""The time it took participants to reach 95% of their asymptote of automaticity ranged from 18 to 254 days; indicating considerable variation in how long it takes people to reach their limit of automaticity and highlighting that it can take a very long time. Missing one opportunity to perform the behaviour did not materially affect the habit formation process."

Potts and Jane Wardle, ''European Journal of Social Psychology'', Volume 40, Issue 6, pages 998–1009, October 2010).
