Breaking bad habits

Yesterday DS1 and I made plans to try to break our bad habits. It was his idea. He is going to try to stop sucking on his fingers, and I am going to try to stop chewing my fingernails.

Some TV show that we have seen taught him about good habits and bad habits and that it takes 21 days of doing something to make it a habit. I've tried for ~40 years to stop biting my fingernails and cuticles, with sporadic success. (They looked nice for my wedding; short but nice.) His fingers are constantly wrinkled and often chapped, so I hope we are both successful!
