The 30-Day Trial

You commit to some change for 30 days, then tou can go back to your old ways. But having spent thirty days applying a new behavior is often enough to convince you to stick with it.

Pros:

• Can handle more significant/difficult behavior changes you might be unlikely to start with a perpetual commitment.
• Fosters an experimental mindset, rather than assuming you already know what’s best.

Cons:

• 30 days probably isn’t enough to actually make something a habit.
• Without a long-term plan, many 30-day trials will revert back to the original behavior.
