Getting used to back button focusing

It takes about a week or so of using your camera daily to get used to it.  I use back button focus and it's cool, but definitely took about a week to nail down.

2 weeks for me and enjoy it.  Don't get me wrong, during the first week it was constantly reminding my self, but I adjusted quick.  It's nice to have focus locked in now.   Is this a HUGE benefit as some have tooted?  Not really, at least not for me yet.
