The Minimalist Minute
Welcome to your weekly dose of brain juice that helps you build better habits, get fit, and live longer.
In today’s instalment:
Why 30-day experiments beat long-term resolutions
How to test habits without pressure
#habits
Forget lifelong commitments. Think in 30-day experiments.
Why? Because experiments are flexible. They let you test a habit without the pressure of permanence.
Instead of saying, "I'm going to work out every day forever," try, "I'll do a 5-minute workout daily for 30 days." It's manageable, and you're more likely to stick with it.
This approach reduces the mental load and makes habit-building feel like a game. Plus, it's easier to track progress and make adjustments.
Need a starting point? Check out our Habits Academy. If you still haven’t tried it yet you can check it out here. I created it with the idea of building health and fitness habits that last, so it can be a great starting point.

Short-term experiments can lead to long-term benefits. By focusing on 30-day challenges, you can:
Identify what habits work best for you
Avoid burnout by not overcommitting
Build confidence through small wins
Over time, these experiments can stack up, leading to significant improvements in your health and fitness.
