Habit formation is the psychological process by which repeated behaviors become automatic responses to specific cues, typically studied through models like the cue-routine-reward loop popularized by James Clear and Charles Duhigg. It's a key focus area for coaches, product designers (building habit-forming apps), and behavioral scientists, and research suggests it takes anywhere from about 18 to over 200 days for a new behavior to become automatic depending on complexity and consistency.
