Our Habits

Research suggests that an average human makes approximately 35,000 decisions in a day.

And decision fatigue is the difficulty in making a good decision because of the high number of decisions already taken.

To me, our habits are automated decisions that we make without thinking.

Once developed, our habits reduce decision fatigue significantly.

But it needs extreme dedication and consistency to develop a new habit.?

Traditional knowledge indicates that doing something for twenty-one days makes it a habit.?

I once tried avoiding sugar for twenty-one straight days. Then, on my twenty-second day, I consumed 22 times my average daily amount.
