How to Change Your Life in 30 Days

About this video

Recorded for December 2025, Martell lays out a seven-step plan to change your life in the 30 days before 2026. Step one, ‘cut the crap’: pick one primary outcome, add two habits that feed it via habit stacking, and say no to everything else. Step two is ‘separation season’ — using periods like summertime and Christmas when others coast to go hard, starting with 90 minutes of deep work on the top priority, skipping late parties, and doubling a key habit on one weekend day. Step three sets daily non-negotiables for body, mind and business; his own examples include stretching (he says he is 45), reading at least 10 pages, and having clients post three stories a day. Step four is stopping excuses by naming them, questioning whether they serve you, or acting despite them. Step five cuts five time assassins: notifications, vices, energy vampires, late nights and saying yes. Step six stacks small wins by tracking progress — he says he scores himself every Friday across seven dimensions and improves the two lowest — identifying wins and sharing them publicly. Step seven is to start today with imperfect action, write down the 30-day goal and post it for accountability.

Key takeaways

• Pick one primary outcome for the next 30 days, add two simple habits that feed it, and say no to anything that does not feed that goal.
• Use ‘separation season’ when others coast: protect the first 90 minutes for deep work on the number one priority and use one weekend day to double the key habit.
• Set daily non-negotiables with zero days off across body, mind and business — his examples are stretching, reading at least 10 pages, and posting three stories a day for business.
• Cut the five time assassins he lists: notifications, vices, energy vampires, late nights, and saying yes — including setting an alarm for bedtime rather than only for waking.
• Track and share small wins to build belief and identity: he says he tracks life scores across seven dimensions every Friday and works on the two lowest the following week.
