It’s simple. Remove, add or replace a habit, clutter, friend, meeting time, etc…

experiments to try

  • archive all inboxed emails
  • unsubscribe from all emails
  • reduce your kids toys to 25%
  • reduce dishes in kitchen to just enough for one meal
  • limit focused work to 25mins, then take a break #pomodoro
  • at work, everyone goes headsdown for an hour right after lunch
  • make big goals or make small goals
  • plan your week, and don’t plan your next week

measuring your experiments

  • How do you feel? More self constraint or expansion?
  • Are you happy with the results? Continue, stop, or change?
