A short excerpt from a YouTube video titled "Successful People Didn’t Just Wake up That Way" in which Robin Sharma explains the concept of automaticity and habit 'installation.' He cites research (University College London) and states a practical rule: practicing a new skill for 66 consecutive days (the "66 day minimum") leads to automaticity. He illustrates the idea with a sports-practice example (repetition in training produces championship-level automatic skills).

Automaticity is a word I want you to really think about. Habit. Installation. Researchers will tell you, for example the research of University College London. You do any new skill for 66 days in a row. I call it the 66 day minimum. 66 days in a row and you will reach a point where it becomes easier to do the new skill than not to do the new skill. It's called automaticity. I bet you Dion Practice practiced a certain shot as a defenseman or a certain play as a defenseman over and over and over to the point where it was automatic. What makes championship players is what they do in practice, not what they do in the game.
