66 Days

Automaticity in the human heart is its ability to spontaneously generate an electrical impulse and “beat” on its own. It does so without your thinking or decision, and we’re capable of achieving the the same higher level of habit formation, and subsequently, process automation in our lives. Specifically, that point of habit automaticity takes 66 days as proven by modern research, and just think of all that you could do and achieve in your life if you were able to really hardwire the behaviors that you always wanted?

Habits are a bitch. Some of them our great and act as success magnets, others as repellent. We’ve all got ’em. Points of automaticity could be something as simple as going to brew coffee first thing in the morning, as innocent as where you put your keys when you walk in the door, or as insidious as the need for a dessert after dinner every night. Which of your points of automaticity serve you? Which don’t?

Success is most often sustained by our ability to reliably repeat productive behaviors.

What would you love to be doing everyday in 66 days?
