The start of a new year is as good of a time as any to try and kick a bad habit or develop a good one. But, like anything worth doing, you're going to have to work for it. Conventional wisdom tells us that it only takes doing something for 21 consecutive days to develop that habit. If only it were that quick!
On average, it really takes 66 days. Which still isn't bad, when you consider the long-term benefits of self-improvement.
For truckers, that average can be easily raised or brought down, based on your level of dedication. This is when you can make your career work for you. Think about it: because you spend most of your day alone, you're not exposed to temptations unless you choose to be. That's one upside when you're trying to cut back on sugar or quit smoking. However, it can also be a downside if you're looking to be more active.
