From BurnZero

Habits are engrained thought patterns which exhibit as ingrained repeated actions. There is some debate as to how long it takes to form or destroy a habit as it is wholely dependent on neuroplasticity however, some studies suggest that "The average modelled time to habit change was 66 days, but the range was from 18 to 254 days"[1].
