I wondered if it were so simple. Could you just do a few small daily tasks for 30 days and install a new habit or achieve measurable progress on a goal?🤔 If so, then why do we struggle with even essential good habits like exercise, eating healthy, reading, writing, etc.? So I decided to do more research(Google search 😎) on this topic. I wanted to find real-life examples of people who used this method to install a new life-changing habit. So here are a few real-life examples of people who have successfully used this strategy to build a habit and get better in a particular aspect; 1. [Nayanika Saikia](https://medium.com/@nayanikasaikia?source=post_page-----92ab229da94a--------------------------------) - Used the 30-day writing challenge on medium and by accident and earned enough to fund three semesters of her Masters Degree. 2. [Brian Crooke](https://www.officeworkerhealth.com/blog/30-day-challenge-the-result) - Used the 30 Days Challenge to live the healthiest 30 days he'd ever spent on our planet! 3. [Dubai Fitness Challenge:](https://www.dubaifitnesschallenge.com/) More than 2.2 Million people participated in this year's fitness challenge. Fifty-two percent of participants logged between 30 and 60 minutes of daily activity. While 24 percent pushed themselves further and clocked in more than 60 minutes a day. [arabianbusiness.com](https://www.arabianbusiness.com/industries/healthcare/dubai-fitness-challenge-record-2-2m-join-in-uae-wellness-activity) 4. I also found many before and after pictures of the 30-day fitness challenge results.  ![Dubai Fitness Challange - khaleejtimes.com-1](https://www.financialplanningindubai.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dubai%20Fitness%20Challange%20-%20khaleejtimes.com-1.jpeg?width=750&height=422&name=Dubai%20Fitness%20Challange%20-%20khaleejtimes.com-1.jpeg)[Image Source: Khaleejtimes.com](https://www.khaleejtimes.com/transport/dubai-run-tomorrow-metro-to-start-at-3-30am-road-closures-alternative-routes-announced) After reading the above, I gained confidence. For sure, 2.2 million people cannot be wrong!  So I continued my research and found some more interesting articles and examples.  1.
