I guess it's not the duration that matters when it comes to keeping the habit. But what's the burning desire driving the forming of the habit. You may have tried a particular routine religiously for 21, 30 days or so, but if you're not really focused on the purpose of

Like rising early. What's the desire of doing so? So that you'll have more time in the wee hours of the morning to work on your website, generate additional income to maintain a lifestyle you've been hankering for. If you don't create this purpose, you'll easily find yourself lapsing back.

Probably the interesting part about the 30 days habit analogy is that while maintaining the routine, you actually go on to create this burning desire. For example, I've known friends who tried this habit on picking up jogging. In the end, he loved the activity so much in the process that he even signed up for marathons.

Cheers,
