Others believes that it takes only 21 day.

Taking it all into account top panel were developed to contain about four weeks for tracking habit forming.

Tasks

There are four quadrants on the tasks panel. They are placed accordingly to Dwight D. Eisenhower's Method:

Important and Urgent	Important and Not Urgent
Not Important and Urgent	Not Important and Not Urgent

There are two basic rules to manage tasks:

Try to focus as much as possible on Important and Not Urgent (top right quadrant) because it affect you future the most.
Try to delegate everything else.
