Kicking or Gaining a Habit in 30 Days

In a very short talk on TedX Matt Cutts talks about creating mini challenges for yourself. As he presents it, 30 days is just long enough to break yourself of a habit or to incorporate a new one into your life. Following in the footsteps of Morgan Spurlock, who created and hosted the short-running series 30 Days, Cutts challenged himself to write a book in 30 days, take up hiking in 30 days and quit sugar in 30 days.

I’m curious how this would work for me. Growing up I often gave up something for Lent for 40 days and I don’t think any of those things stuck as permanent. But then my goal was never to change my behavior, just to make it through 40 days.

I think I am going to give this a shot. Among my 30 days goals are blogging (I’ve gotten close), taking pictures (I aimed for 365 days and quickly fell flat) and working out (the yogurt helps tremendously).

What would you be willing to attempt to do, or not do, for 30 days?
