How long does it take to develop new habits?

A consensus of sorts finds that habits may form, and stick in little over two-months (66 days to be exact) time frame. As of this writing, many 'Stay at Home' directives have been in place for around two-months.

How have habits changed over the last two-months?

My habits haven't changed that much, but the rest of the world has become a lot more like me.

Will be interesting to see if the routines necessitated by restrictions change 'normal' culture. Would say it hasn't quite happened yet. A lot of them are still in the denial stage. See Kubler-Ross stages of grief.

Don't look for job. A lot more applicants competing for fewer jobs.

Nobody will make the mistake of hiring my worthless corpse again and when they do they make me redundant
