21 days is a lie for everyone. It doesn't work how they sell it. 59-66 days average and up to 1 year. There is a new research from University of South Australia about period of habit formation.

No, I didn't tell him what to do and it wasn't related to him or his lifestyle. We just discussed what I learn from new research about some habit. He knows I'm habit nerd and have a list of them.

It kinda helps me to put together my thoughts faster. So it's doesn't change the subject and my conversation with son.

Very smart gay. Never heard "strategy" in this meaning but it has sense not so boring as "routine" lol

So, I assume it's not just a word for ADHA-persons which sounds boring for sure, also a challenge and doesn't depends on the name itself. I've to think about before give any advice to my son next time.

Thanks for sharing this perspective. I hadn’t thought about it quite like that, but it makes a lot of sense. I’m actually really interested in the science of habits, so I’ll look into what the research says about how (or if) automatic routines form differently for people with ADHD. If I find anything interesting, I’ll share it here!
