Dr.
Maxwell Maltz stated back in the 60's that is takes 21 days to form a habit. I believe that that is no longer the case in today's world. I believe you need at least one more week to solidify the habit.
Week 1: Torture, trying to keep up with the pains of starting a new habit.
Week 2: Uncomfortable stamina. This week is still uncomfortable trying to establish the habit into your routine.
Week 3: Comfort zone: This is the hot zone where the habit comes easier and many people feel they have it at the end of the week. The habit has become more natural. It is not as painful to do it consistently. People usually stop trying to incorporate the habit into their daily routines at the end of this week, thinking they 'got it'.
Week 4: In my opinion, this is the week that solidifies the habit. You went through the pain, the discomfort with your attempts to incorporate the habit, then the comfort zone feeling that you got it down. This fourth week is where you really master the habit and it begins to come with ease.
Of course, if you Google it, many say that 66 days is the average time that it takes to build a habit.
I feel that if you have it through week 4, you may falter, but it is easier to get back on the bike and ride day after day.
What are your thoughts on building a habit?
What positive habit will you begin today?

Must be that time again to talk about GHOSTING by recruiters
In the past month, I had 3 recruiters reach out to me and we had excellent conversations. They were so excited about my experience, they even responded to my thank you emails. Now-crickets. These are recruiters on staff with the organizations they represent. Anyone care to offer insight into this behavior?

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue .
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring . I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best . im praying to god , to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance . I’m currently still going through the interview process . Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals . Has anyone been in this situation before ?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc
