Episode 4147:

Anthony Ongaro offers a starting list of twenty lifestyle experiments, from a shopping ban to going car free to capping phone use at an hour a day, along with the three things that make one stick: keeping it simple, partnering up, and tracking it somewhere visible. He then walks through the experiments that changed the most for him, including the minimalism game that started his decluttering, a sugar and carb cut, and a social media detox. His closing point is that a failed experiment costs almost nothing, because the design already assumes some of them will not work.
