4147: [Part 2] A Helpful Guide To Lifestyle Experiments

Anthony Ongaro of Break the Twitch presents a menu of more than twenty lifestyle experiments and explains three practices that make them stick: keep the design simple, add an accountability partner, and track progress in a visible place. He walks through the experiments that changed his own life most, including a minimalism-focused decluttering game, cutting sugar and carbs, and a social media detox. His core message is that treating a change as an experiment lowers the stakes — a failed experiment costs almost nothing, and the design assumes from the start that some attempts will not work.
