Try Something New for 30 Days 🌱

The speaker describes using 30-day challenges to break out of a rut: choose something you’ve wanted to do—or a habit you want to change—and try it for a month.

What he learned

• A month can feel more memorable: Taking a photo every day helped him remember what he was doing throughout that month.
• Challenges can build confidence: He went from being a desk-bound computer enthusiast to biking to work and eventually hiking Mount Kilimanjaro.
• Big goals become manageable when broken into daily steps: For example, writing 1,667 words a day makes a 50,000-word novel possible in 30 days. He completed one, even though he thought it was awful.
• Small, sustainable changes are more likely to last: Dramatic challenges can be fun, but giving up sugar for a month led him to go right back to it afterward.

Takeaway

The next 30 days will pass either way. Pick something you’ve always wanted to try and give it a go for 30 days. 🚀
