I'd like it to take four days.
Things you can do to bring yourself closer to four days rather than 256 days.
Number one, you can write it down.
Number two, you can tell somebody else about it.
So that's a clearly articulate your goal.
You can make it visible and social to people.
And you can shift your environment, shift the context in which you operate to make it less likely that the habit is available or attractive to you as well.
So this is the other thing I feel like is the problem with the 90-day thing.
And I wonder if you have the same thought, which is it takes 90 days to break a bad habit.
But once you're past that, if you keep the habit for the rest of your life, who's to say it didn't take one day?
Then what happens?
Do you know what I mean?
Exactly.
So it's like 90 days to set a new habit.
So it's like, well, if I go back to smoking or whatever on day 100, you know what I mean?
