This has already helped me re-think what I would like to experiment on in the coming months, from finding my passions to finding a date. Sometimes you think would live to try something and it hovers in the back of your mind usually in the form of wishful thinking followed by regret when time passes by. A small-scale experimet is ideal to get a feel before you commit to any goals. Who knows - it may turn out you it's not for you or it's better than you imagined. Excellent post.

Sometimes we simply don't do an activity or project we've been thinking about because we fear that we'll have to make a life-long commitment to it. If we consciously say "only 30 days and regroup" then it we can go into it with an "out" and not look like we've quit, just reevaluated. I like your approach to experimenting for 30 days.

However, I'd say that's true with just about everything. I don't think a strategy is invalid just because we can't be perfectly unbiased. -Scott Kali,
