In this episode of the Help Me Understand podcast, host JK explores the belief that it takes 21 days to form a habit, tracing its origins to cosmetic surgery.
JK also discusses the updated scientific research that reveals a much wider range for habit formation, going anywhere from 18 to 254 days.
He shares his perspective on the importance of pairing new habits with existing routines and encourages listeners to be actively patient with their progress.
