Do something new
for 30 days
A few years ago, Matt Cutts, a top manager
at Google, thought his life wasn’t moving
forward. So he started to set himself
30-day
challenges
. The idea was simple: think of
something you want to add to your life – or
to give up – and try it every day for 30 days.
He began with small projects like cycling to work,
not watching TV and giving up sugar. Then he
moved onto harder ones, like writing a novel in
30 days. Matt learned that if you do something for
30 days it can become a habit. If you stop doing
something for 30 days, you can break the habit.
As he did harder challenges, he got more confident.
He learned that if he really
really
wanted to do
something, he could. After doing the challenges for
a few months, he had enough confidence to climb
Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.
Matt gave an online talk about how the challenges
changed his life. More than five million people
around the world have watched his talk and the
30-day challenge quickly became very popular.
