Automaticity

This requires patience.

You are building automaticity.

Automaticity takes repetition under different conditions.

Practice calm not only when life is calm.

Practice financial discipline during good months and difficult ones.

But the range was enormous.

Some people hit automaticity in 18 days.

Automaticity is just the habit becoming automatic.

Others needed about 254 days to reach the same point.

The popular idea that habit takes 21 days to form comes from a plastic surgeon named Maxwell Maltz, who actually wrote a book in 1960 about how long it took his patients to get used to their new faces after surgery.
