Hi everyone.

My stepdad always told me that if you do the same thing once everyday in 15 days you'll develop a habit.
Example: open and close the fridge just before you go to school 15 days in a row.

Now, could anyone help me test this? I always seem to fail in doing it 15 days because i forget. Could be cool to see if this was true or not.

I've heard the same thing about 21 days, 3 months, a year.

It's usually said by people when they're trying to get you to do something you don't like doing.

"Just force yourself to smash yourself in the crotch with a brick every day for a month and you'll get into a habit of it."

I don't think saying would work. Too forced, not as subtle as opening the fridge. Maybe you could try something like using a toothpick after every meal? Leave a box of 'em at your table so you don't need to go out of your way to get them.

Use a toothpick after every meal, and keep it in your mouth for some time. Maybe you'll develop the toothpick habit.
