30 Day Challenges

I first came to know about the '30 day challenges' from Matt's Blog. Matt is a Googler and the guy behind Google's Webspam team. I have been following his blog for quite some time now and I came across his 30 days series of blog posts.
30 days is enough time to build a habit. However, I'd read somewhere that if you do a task for 21 days continuously, then it becomes a habit. I don't know how did they calculate exactly 21 days.

So I've decided to try the same for 30 days. The days are going to pass, whether to try something new or not. 30 days will make a month and many such months will make a year and finally one day you'll die. Then why not try something new, something good, something innovative for the next 30 days. If you like it, you can continue. If you don't, nobody will force you.

My 30 day challenge is to write at least a page everyday in my diary (and upload it to the blog, if possible). Thus, this post today, makes me complete my 1st day of my 30 day challenge.

Other 30 day challenges I would like to try :

• Read at least 30 pages everyday.
• Get up early at 5'o clock and try doing yoga or go for a walk.

So what are you thinking to do for the next 30 days? And here's the inspiring video of Matt Cutts on 30 day challenges.
