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.

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.
