It's generally agreed on that 30 days is the time needed to ingrain a new habit. The activity should be preformed at least once a day, at about the same time. It also helps to display notes to self in the proxemity of the place where the habit ought to happen. Depends on the habit. Something like taking a vitamin everyday is as easy as leaving the bottles out for you to see every morning and your brain will automatically convert. Something like remembering to wipe your shoes is a little harder because you already have the bad habit of not doing it and its easier to forget, its automatic. Repetition is the key to any good or bad habit. Just like our abc's or a nursery rhyme, repeat, repeat. If you want to know a time length that depends on the persons ability and will to form a good habit and of course, laziness factor.
