While having a daily routine will help you stay organized and productive, it can also start to feel tiresome after awhile, and it's easy to stop trying new things. Googler Matt Cutts says you can escape that by trying something new—even something small—for 30 days.


Cutts explains how by adding or subtracting something simple from his daily routine, like riding his bike to work, or taking a photo every day, helped him expand his routine in positive ways without throwing a wrench into his daily organization. It doesn't need to be anything huge, either. Something small is easily sustainable, and can still help make your time more memorable, and even help you learn a thing or two about yourself.

Matt's talk is part of the hour-long Ignite talk above (at Google I/O yesterday); fast forward to the 30 minute mark to hear it.
