Lessons I learned adding 30 new habits and keeping them for a month
Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Are you looking to add some new positive habits to your life? You already recognize habits as a powerful force for positive change but you aren’t sure where exactly to start. What habits will give you the most benefit for the least effort?
I just finished a two-month challenge of daily habit formation. In the first month, I started a new habit every day. In the second month, I continued each habit until it reached the 30-day mark then evaluated whether I wanted to keep it or ditch it.
In total, I started 30 habits, practiced each one for at least 30 days, and decided to keep doing 20 out of the 30 habits.
What habits will work for you is a highly personalized question. However, there are some universal principles I found. If you are looking to add some positive habits into your own life here are some tips based on my experience.
