A new month is a great time to start something new. Of course there’s no real reason that it’s a better time than any other. Still, our weird human tendency to put emphasis on new months and new years makes it seem like a better time.

If you want to kickoff a tidying habit, play the 30-day minimalism game. Day 1 – get rid of 1 item, day 2 – get rid of 2 items. Each day, add 1 more item and keep going as long as you can. If you do it with friends, the person who makes the most days wins. (In the end, everyone wins.)

Maybe it’s a good time to start moving more. Using the idea above, you could start small and move for 1 minute today, 2 minutes tomorrow, then build up as the month progresses. Go for a walk, do some Movement for Longevity, whatever makes you feel good. If you miss a day, shake it off and get back on it the next day.

What new habit are you ready to start?
