This was posted ages ago on Lifehacker and I finally got around to watching it last night. The main focus is on the short talk by Matt Cutts at a recent Google I/O event.
He details how having a daily routine is great for staying productive, organised and keeping the stress levels to a minimum, but it can also start to feel tiresome and repetitive after a while. The suggestion is to make a small change and try something new for 30 days, this helps you to refresh a dull routine and help you expand your routine in positive way.
Even small changes such as riding a bike to work or writing a page of a novel every day can provide a level of inspiration and excitement, without completely disrupting your daily routine.. The added benefit of making it a small activity is that it will be easily sustainable, however it can also be used to really help you discover a little bit more about yourself and improve upon your weaknesses in a steady, manageable way.
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 organisation. 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.
