How to make progress (on big intimidating goals).
My 30-for-30 Approach:
I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out the best ways to create progress on big, intimidating goals.
My 30-for-30 Approach is what I’ve found that consistently works.
The structure is simple:
• 30 days
• 30 minutes per day
With this approach, three things happen:
1. Clarity
It provides clarity on whether you are physically and psychologically invested in the thing you want to improve at.
30 days of effort is a real commitment.
If you are half-in, you won’t want to take it on and commit to the 30 days.
It’s a commitment razor.
2. Removes Intimidation
30-for-30 is small enough that you can mentally take it on.
Pre-start self-intimidation is one of the biggest drivers of stagnation.
We make something too daunting, so we don’t take it on.
New habits and improvement initiatives can often feel that way.
3. Effective Compounding
30 days of 30 minutes per day is 900 total minutes of accumulated effort.
It will yield surprisingly significant results.
There’s almost nothing in the world that you won’t improve at if you spend 900 minutes of focused, dedicated effort on it.
30-for-30 works because it creates a marathon of short, manageable sprints.
It forces you to work like a lion, consistently.
Intensity + Consistency = Progress
