Wes's Experiment Journey
- Wes Jones shared how he transitioned from designing 100 logos in 100 days to joining Ship 30 to build a daily writing habit.
- He committed to paid and group-based challenges to stay disciplined and build new habits consistently.
Start Small With Experiments
- Choose experiment durations that fit your workflow, like 30 days to start instead of jumping into 100 days.
- Shorter periods allow easier habit stacking and reduce the pressure to commit long term without flexibility.
Value Rest in Habits
- Listening to your body and mind is crucial to avoid burnout or injury in daily habits.
- Sometimes skipping a day improves long-term consistency and progress more than pushing through discomfort.
