How to Change Your Life in 90 Days (And Make It Last)

Jay explains why trying to change everything about your life overnight often leads to burnout, and shares a practical 90-day approach to making changes that actually stick. He breaks down how to get clear on what you want your everyday life to look like three months from now, create space for your goals by doing less instead of more, and overcome procrastination with simple strategies like temptation bundling and if-then planning. Jay also shares how to build sustainable habits that keep you moving forward long after the 90 days are over.

  Hey, it's Jay. I don't know what your day's been like, but I was just thinking about you for a minute. And I hope you're being a little patient with yourself because you deserve it. And yeah, I'll talk to you soon.

• 1:33Speaker 00

  Let me be honest with you. You aren't giving yourself a real chance to change your life. The second you decide something needs to change, you try to change everything all at once. You have one Sunday night where you're frustrated with yourself, and suddenly you're mentally designing a completely new person. This person wakes up at five, works out six days a week, cooks every meal, reads before bed, responds to every message, saves half their income, and somehow has a perfectly clean home and a full social life. Then Monday arrives. You sleep through the first alarm, the morning becomes rushed, and by lunchtime, you already feel behind. You skip the workout, buy lunch because there was nothing in the refrigerator, and tell yourself you will start properly tomorrow. It is amazing how quickly a plan that was supposed to improve your life

• 2:18Speaker 00

  can become another reason to feel bad about it. Sound familiar? This is where it becomes much bigger than one missed workout or one unfinished application. Every plan you abandon changes the way the next promise sounds. You say, "I'm serious this time." And another voice in your head says, "You always say that." Eventually, you stop trusting yourself before you have even begun. I don't think that means you're incapable of changing, but I do think you may be creating plans that only work when you feel completely motivated. The hopeful version of you writes the schedule, and then the tired version has to follow it. The distracted version has to follow it. The version who gets disappointing news on a random afternoon has to follow it as well.

• 3:03Speaker 00

  So here's what I want you to do. Choose one part of your life you want to change and give it 90 days. Just one thing, just 90 days, and don't worry about everything else. I'm about to tell you exactly how to do this. But first, why 90 days? It's because it's long enough to get you through just the excited period of change, but short enough that it can be real and manageable. You likely already know what's on your calendar in the next three months when it comes to big events, trips, or distractions. 90 days gives time for your goals to survive around your actual life. You will have a busy week, lose motivation, get interrupted, and discover that something takes longer than you expected.

• 3:47Speaker 00

  We're going to plan for those moments instead of acting surprised when they arrive. By the end of this episode, you will know exactly how to attack the next 90 days so that the life you want actually has a chance to be built. We're going to move through the three months in order, beginning with the decision you need to make before day one. The first step is decide what you want day 90 to look like, but picture it in your real life. When your life feels off track, it's very easy to make a list of everything that's wrong. You need to sleep more, exercise again, get ahead at work, spend less, clean the house, call your family, answer your messages, and stop wasting so much time on your phone. The list gives you a brief feeling of control.

• 4:32Speaker 00

  Then you look at it and realize that changing your life has become a second full-time job. Picture an ordinary Monday three months from now. You probably still have the same commute, many of the same responsibilities, and laundry waiting somewhere. But what could be different? Maybe you could get seven hours of sleep instead of scrolling on your phone until 1:00 in the morning. Maybe you begin work knowing that other job applications are sent out rather than spending another day complaining about a job you have wanted to leave for years. Maybe you check your bank account without panic because you know what is there and what to do with it. An ordinary Monday is more useful than imagining that you have become your best self.

• 5:14Speaker 00

  Ask, "What problem am I most tired of carrying into every new week?" Then describe what you want to be true 90 days from now. "Fix my life, get healthy, and be better with money." They sound important, but each phrase contains dozens of completely different plans. If your health feels off track, your day 90 result might be completing a five-kilometer walk without stopping or finally booking and completing the medical appointments you've delayed. If sleep is affecting everything, the result might be a routine that gets you into bed by 10 and wakes you with enough time to eat breakfast before work. If your phone is the problem,

• 5:55Speaker 00

  you might aim to reduce your daily screen time by two hours and keep it outside your bedroom at night. If money is creating constant anxiety, your result might be knowing every balance, paying off one credit card, or saving your first $1,000. If your career feels stuck, you could finish your resume, complete a certification, or submit 10 carefully chosen applications. If your home is the problem, you could clear and organize one room, do a huge donation, or finish the repairs that keep following you from one weekend to the next. Relationships need equally clear results. Improve my relationship could really mean having the conversation you have both avoided,

• 6:35Speaker 00

  trying couples therapy, or deciding what boundary you will keep if certain behavior continues. If you feel lonely, your result could be joining one recurring activity or hosting a dinner before day 90. If you miss being creative, you might record four songs, submit three pitches, publish six essays, or complete the online class you bought last year and never opened. Whatever it is for you, choose a result that involves something you can do. You cannot guarantee that an employer will hire you, that another person will change, or that your friends will respond in the perfect way. You can apply for new roles, initiate a hard conversation, or attend social events. This episode of On Purpose is presented by Amazon.

If nobody could see that I had done this, would I still want it? You may want the promotion because everybody around you seems to be progressing, when what you actually want is work that stops consuming your evenings.

• 8:06Speaker 00

  You may want a busy social life because others' weekends look full online, when what you actually miss is one close friendship. You may want an impressive physical transformation when the change you would actually feel every day is having enough energy to climb the stairs without becoming breathless. So finish this sentence. "On day 90, I want to be able to say that I..." fill in the blank. Try saying the answer aloud. "I paid off the card. I completed the doctor's appointments. I sent the applications. I can walk five kilometers. I hosted the dinner. I finished the first draft." Then, step one is to do the smallest thing that makes the sentence less hypothetical.

• 8:50Speaker 00

  Register, email, open the account, create the document, or ask the friend whether they are free. After completing this step, the second step is this. Build the first month from a week you have actually lived. A new goal doesn't arrive with new hours. If you want to train three times a week, those hours already belong to something. If you want to take a course on Tuesday nights, Tuesday night cannot remain available to every person who asks for it. If you want to go to bed at 10, something you currently do between 10 and 1 has to move or end. This is where many plans become impossible. We place a writing routine on top of a demanding job, a long commute, childcare, errands, and a full social calendar.

• 9:35Speaker 00

  We add meal preparation to a Sunday that already contains laundry, family plans, and all the work we did not finish on Friday. Then we interpret the collision as a lack of discipline, even though the real problem is that we built the plan with hours we didn't have. There is fascinating research on how rarely people consider solving a problem by removing something. In a series of experiments published in Nature, researchers gave people different things to improve, including designs, written work and schedules. Participants repeatedly looked for something they could add, even when taking something away could improve the result. We think the most important thing we can do today is start something new.

• 10:18Speaker 00

  Often, the most important thing you can do today is stop doing something you already do. Changing your life sometimes means doing less than doing more, and that secret will change everything. Pause the recurring commitment you no longer enjoy. Mute the group chat during the hour you're trying to work. Order the same groceries each week instead of making 20 decisions. Stop offering your evenings before checking your calendar. Allow the house to be clean enough while you complete the course. For now, you only need to protect the next three months. Some changes also require another person's cooperation. You may need your partner to handle bedtime one night, your manager to know that you're

• 11:01Speaker 00

  unavailable after six, a sibling to cover one appointment for your parent, or a friend to attend the first class with you. Be open with loved ones about your goals. If you protect the plan entirely in your head, people will continue treating that time as available because they have no reason to know otherwise. Once you have made some room, decide whether the action will happen. Most of us plan by looking forward. We imagine next Tuesday going smoothly and think, "I'll do it then." I want you to look backward instead. Open your calendar, messages or photos, and look at the last two weeks. What did Tuesday actually contain? What time did you get home? Who needed you?

• 11:44Speaker 00

  When were you alert and when were you so tired that even choosing dinner felt difficult? This is related to something psychologists call the planning fallacy. In one well-known study, Roger Buehler, Dale Griffin and Michael Ross asked students to predict when they would finish their honours thesis. On average, the students expected to finish in about 34 days. Even when asked to imagine a worst-case scenario, their average estimate was under 49 days. The work actually took about 56 days, and only around 30% finished by the date they had originally predicted. The students were intelligent and familiar with long assignments. They still pictured the work going more smoothly than it did.

• 12:29Speaker 00

  We make the same mistake when we build a plan only around the weekdays, where work ends on time, nobody calls, traffic is light, and we still feel energetic at 7:30. Use your past month as information. If work is run late every Thursday, do not place the most important hour of your week after Thursday's final meeting. If Sunday mornings keep being absorbed by family, choose another day. If you always plan to exercise after work and repeatedly arrive home exhausted, try before work, during lunch, closer to the office, or on the weekend. Do not keep selecting a time simply because it would be convenient if your life were different.

• 13:11Speaker 00

  For the first 30 days, choose two times during the week that you can block off to work on your goal. Someone changing careers might protect Tuesday evening for improving their resume and Saturday morning for applications or conversations. Someone paying off debt might review spending every Friday after work and prepare the next week's meals on Sunday to reduce expensive last-minute orders. Someone rebuilding friendships might use Wednesday's commute to call one person and keep Sunday afternoon open for a plan they initiate. You can also make one of those appointments more appealing. Behavioral scientist Katie Milkman and her colleagues tested this with people who wanted to exercise more.

• 13:52Speaker 00

  Participants chose from audiobooks that were easy to become absorbed in, and one group received the books on a device they could only access at the gym. If they wanted to hear the next chapter, they had to return and exercise. At first, that group visited the gym more often than people who had received general encouragement. The research has called this temptation bundling. Many changes ask you to accept something difficult now for a benefit that may take months to notice, but the audiobook gave people something to look forward to now. The useful detail is that access was saved for the behaviour. If they could listen anywhere, the story might still make exercise more pleasant, but it would no longer give them a reason to return to the gym.

• 14:37Speaker 00

  Think about something you already love, maybe a favourite show, meal or podcast. To put this into practice, maybe that show is only available while you walk on the treadmill, or you get to order your favourite meal when you work on Saturdays. Maybe you save the best podcast of the week for the afternoon when you sort paperwork or clear the spare room. The reward should not create another expensive or unhealthy problem, but it can give a difficult appointment something enjoyable now. In the audiobook study, the effect weakened when Thanksgiving interrupted people's routines. I actually like that detail because it keeps the advice realistic. A great audiobook did not make holiday travel disappear.

• 15:19Speaker 00

  A strategy can help you return more often without protecting you from every disruption the next three months will contain. During the first 30 days, keep the routine simple enough that you can watch what happens. Do not add a third workout because the first week felt easy. Do not double your writing target because you had one unusually free Saturday. Let the plan experience a stressful week before deciding it's too small. At the end of each week, ask two questions. Did I do what I said I would? And what made doing it easier or harder? You may discover that an hour working on a goal is too long, but 30 focus minutes works.

• 16:01Speaker 00

  You may learn that you need to choose which room you're clearing before Saturday morning or the entire session becomes moving objects between piles. You may realise that the language lesson happens when it's scheduled immediately before dinner and gets pushed to tomorrow when you leave it for later. By day 30, you're looking for a routine you can repeat. The debt may not be paid, the course may not be finished, and the friendship may not feel close yet, but the work should have a place in your actual week and you should know what had to...

It's normal to want people to like you, but if you find yourself obsessing over every little thing, if you're conjuring up non-stop scenarios in your head about how they'll react to you saying, "No, I don't want to go out," that's not the healthiest, and honestly, it sounds exhausting. With BetterHelp, you can find a way to shut down those thoughts and focus on you, not the people around you.

At some point in the next 90 days, you're going to reach the part of this change that

• 18:57Speaker 00

  has stopped you before. You may do everything right for two weeks and see almost no progress. The work may become more difficult just as your confidence begins to drop. You may miss several days and feel embarrassed about returning, or discover that changing this part of your life requires a conversation you've been avoiding. This is usually where people decide that the plan is failing. Sometimes it is, but we also need to know what kind of failure we're looking at, because there is a difference between struggling to do the plan and faithfully doing something that does not work. Making a plan is important. Sticking to a plan is important. Knowing when the plan needs to change is also important.

• 19:38Speaker 00

  One of the biggest mistakes we make when forming a new habit is we don't recognise that changing the plan can actually be the best decision we make. Sticking to a plan just for the sake of sticking to it can actually make it much less sustainable and make you give up much quicker. Imagine you planned three workouts each week and completed one. The issue may be the timing, the distance to the gym, the length of the workout, or the fact that nobody covers the responsibility you leave behind. Now imagine you completed all three workouts for a month, but you're experiencing pain or making no progress toward the physical goal. That calls for a different response, perhaps feedback from a trainer or a medical professional and a change to the program.

• 20:22Speaker 00

  The same distinction applies everywhere. If you want to start a podcast but keep postponing the first recording, examine what makes beginning feel so difficult. If you record every week but the episodes still sound unfocused, ask an experienced producer to listen and tell you where they lose interest. If you want to be better with money but keep forgetting the weekly money check-in, move it to payday or set the appointment with someone else. If you complete it every week and the debt is still growing, your budget may be ignoring the category where you actually spend. This is why day thirty should include feedback. Show the work to someone who can tell you something you cannot tell yourself. Ask a person in the industry, if you are hiring for this role, what's missing here?

• 21:06Speaker 00

  Ask the financial advisor where the plan is unrealistic. Ask your friend, I feel as though we keep saying we'll see each other and we never do. Would a recurring plan make this easier? Ask your partner, do these check-ins feel as though they're helping us? Or are we having the same argument at a scheduled time? There's another problem that often appears in the second month. Once progress becomes uncomfortable, we've replaced action with preparation. You watch tutorials instead of writing. You compare running shoes instead of training. You spend an hour choosing a budgeting app instead of opening the account you're afraid to see. You keep researching therapists because making the first call would make the problem feel real. Examine this instinct in yourself.

• 21:50Speaker 00

  What is your avoidance tactic? Once you know the situation, you can decide what you will do when it happens. Researchers call these implementation intentions, and the mental framework is very simple. If this happens, then I will do that. Peter Goldwitzer and Pascal Sheeran reviewed ninety-four tests of these plans and found a large positive effect on goal achievement. The strength is in the specificity. If life becomes difficult, I will stay committed gives you nothing to do. If my manager asks me to stay late on Tuesday, I will say that I already have an appointment and ask what can be handled Wednesday morning prepares you for a real moment.

• 22:34Speaker 00

  This could also look like, if I want to order something I did not budget for, I will place it on a forty-eight hour list. If I miss the morning walk, I will take the fifteen-minute route after lunch. If I start looking for another tutorial, I'll work on the draft for ten minutes first. During days thirty-one through sixty, if your progress is stalled, change one part of the plan every week until you find what produces movement. Move the session, shorten it, ask for support, increase the difficulty when the work has become too easy. Replace a method that is not helping. Consistency is valuable, but it cannot turn an ineffective action into an effective one. From there, keep a very simple record of what happened.

• 23:19Speaker 00

  Psychologist Benjamin Harkin and his colleagues analyzed one hundred and thirty-eight studies testing whether encouraging people to monitor progress improved goal attainment. Overall, it did, and the effect was even stronger when progress was physically recorded or shared with somebody else. Record the behavior you chose and one sign of progress. Write down the amount transferred or the current debt balance every Friday. Track how many invitations you initiated and how many plans you attended. Record the nights the phone stayed outside the bedroom and the time you actually went to sleep. The tracker should take less than a minute and tell you more than whether the week felt productive. This episode is brought to you by State Farm.

  As the main character of your life, you know how important it is to make the right choices for you and how rewarding it is to feel good about your decisions.

Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability, amount of discounts and savings, and eligibility vary by state. So notice how in the first sixty days, we're not trying to get to perfection. We're not trying to get to a point of no failure. We're not trying to get to a point where we know what we're doing and everything works.

• 24:47Speaker 00

  We're actually getting to a point of reflection and iteration. We actually realize, huh, maybe this plan I set isn't really working. Or maybe I'm doing the plan, but it's not getting me the result I want. It might be time to pivot, which takes us to the fourth step. The fourth and final step is build the version that continues after day ninety. There's a problem with putting an end date on change. The date can motivate you, but it can also convince you that you only have to live this way temporarily. You follow the budget until the challenge ends. You push yourself through the workouts until day ninety. You keep your phone outside the bedroom while you're tracking it, then slowly bring it back once you feel as though you've completed the plan.

• 25:30Speaker 00

  The final month is when you use the information you've learned to decide what this change will look like when it is no longer a challenge and you aren't counting down the days. Start by looking at everything you've been doing and ask, could I continue this for another six months? Be honest. Perhaps you can exercise six days a week for ninety days, but you already know that you cannot build your life around that schedule. Maybe you've stopped eating out completely to pay off debt, but you miss seeing your friends and feel close to abandoning the budget. Maybe you've been waking at five to work on a creative project, but you're exhausted by the afternoon and relying on three alarms to get out of bed. Do not wait until the plan collapses to admit that it asks too much of you. I did this myself recently.

• 26:15Speaker 00

  I was working out six days a week of weight training and two days a week of cardio, and I realized that after doing that for thirty days, I was exhausted. I really enjoyed it. I was seeing results, but I couldn't keep it up. It wasn't realistic, so I had to cut a couple of workouts out. Use the final month to reduce it to a version you can genuinely keep. This is not lowering the standard because you've lost motivation. You're deciding what your normal standard will be once the unusually focused ninety days are over. There can still be weeks when you do more, but you need a version you can return to without redesigning your entire life every Monday. Choose what I would call your weekly baseline.

• 26:57Speaker 00

  This is the set of actions that keeps the change alive during a regular week. If you're rebuilding your social life, your baseline may be initiating one plan and attending one recurring activity. We sometimes think a habit only counts once we can do it without reminders, accountability, or help. But there is no prize for making a good decision unnecessarily difficult. If booking the class in advance gets you there, keep booking it. If you spend less when the card is removed from your phone, leave it removed. If seeing a therapist, trainer, mentor, friend, or group helps you continue, that support can be part of your life instead of something you graduate from. You also need a plan for what happens when the routine breaks, because eventually it will.

• 27:40Speaker 00

  You will travel, get sick, work late, have visitors, or go through a week when something more urgent needs your attention. The goal is no longer to prevent every interruption. It is to stop one interruption from quietly becoming the end of the change. Decide now what returning looks like. If you miss a week of exercise, perhaps you return with the shortest class rather than punishing yourself with the hardest one. If an expensive month interrupts your debt payments, you restart the automatic transfer at an amount you can afford instead of avoiding the account. If you cancel plans because you're overwhelmed, you text the person with another date before the evening ends. Make the returns small and specific.

• 28:21Speaker 00

  The longer you wait for the perfect restart, the more emotionally important restarting becomes. There's one more thing I want you to do before day ninety. Schedule day ninety-one. This is where the habit truly forms. Book the workout that happens after the plan ends. Put the next money review on the calendar. Arrange the next dinner. Decide which evening you will continue working on the application, course, business, or first draft. Imagine someone whose goal was to feel less lonely. Over the ninety days, they joined a Thursday group class, began initiating plans, and invited a few people to dinner. Their final month is not about adding more social events so they can finish with an impressive number. It's about noticing that the Thursday class is where connection is naturally developing,

• 29:06Speaker 00

  deciding to continue it, and making sure you schedule it for another month. The seven-day challenge is brought to you by Ultra Running. Creating space can change everything. Space to think more clearly, move with intention, and focus on what truly matters. Ultra Running shoes are designed with the Ultra Fit, giving your feet the room they need to move naturally, comfortably, and with strength over time. Now here's this week's seven-day challenge. This week, I want you to stop waiting for the perfect moment to change your life and start creating it. For the next seven days, I'm challenging you to take seven small but meaningful actions that will help you get your life back on track.

• 29:50Speaker 00

  Day one, choose your one thing. Write down one thing you want to change in the next ninety days. Be specific. Instead of saying, I want to be healthier, right? I want to work out three times a week. Choose something you can actually measure. Day two, remove one distraction. Identify one habit that's taking time away from your goal and eliminate it for the next seven days. Maybe it's scrolling before you go to bed, watching TV for two hours every night, or saying yes to plans you don't have time for. Day three, take the first real step. Do the thing you've been putting off. Sign up for the class. Send the application. Book the appointment. Start the project.

• 30:33Speaker 00

  Whatever your goal is, take one action that makes it real. Day four, make time for it. Open your calendar and schedule two specific times over the next week to work toward your goal. Treat those appointments like commitments you wouldn't cancel.

• 30:51Speaker 00

  Day five, do something different. Break one pattern that's keeping you stuck. If you always skip your workout after work, try going in the morning. If you struggle to focus at home, work somewhere new. Change your environment or your approach instead of repeating what hasn't worked. Day six, create your backup plan. Think about what's most likely to get in your way because there will be something. Then write down one simple solution. For example, if I miss my morning workout, I'll do it 15 minutes after work. Don't wait until something goes wrong to decide how you'll respond. And day seven, make your 90 day commitment.

• 31:32Speaker 00

  Look back at the week, what worked, what felt realistic, what didn't work. Choose one action you can commit to repeating every week for the next 90 days. And schedule the first two weeks now. Because changing your life isn't about doing everything perfectly. It's about making one decision, taking one step and showing up for yourself again and again. Seven days won't change your entire life, but they can change the direction you're heading. The seven day challenge was brought to you by Ultra Running. Ultra Fit Design gives your feet the room they need to move naturally for comfort,

  balance and real strength, so you can spend less time standing still and more time getting outside. Whether you're running, walking, hiking or simply exploring, Ultra is designed to move with you. Visit ultrarunning.com/onpurpose and use the code PURPOSE10 for 10% off. Stay out there. When day 90 arrives, don't only ask, did I reach the goal? Ask, what do I want to keep doing and what is already scheduled next? You may decide to continue exactly as you are, change the baseline, or choose a new milestone for the next 90 days. But you should not need to return to the beginning when it comes to your habits, goals and lifestyle. The best outcome may be that the change no longer feels exciting. The walk is simply what you do after lunch.

  The friend you used to say you should call is now someone you regularly see. That's when change has moved beyond a temporary plan. It has become part of your normal life. So when day 90 arrives, return to the sentence you wrote at the beginning. On day 90, I want to be able to say blank. You may still be waiting on the job offer, the response, the medical result or another person's decision. But even so, you have changed. You now know which time of day works for you to make progress on your goals. You know which obstacle keeps returning. You know which kind of support helps and you know the method that actually creates change. Think back to the voice from the opening, the one that says, you always say you're going to change. On day 90, I want you to look at what you did.

• 33:40Speaker 00

  Look at what changed because you kept showing up even when the plan became inconvenient and the excitement wore off. You should be proud of yourself because this time you did not abandon yourself. If the voice in your head ever tells you, you're not changing enough, you're not good enough, you're not making things happen, you don't have to believe it. You have 90 days of your own life proving otherwise. Thank you so much for listening and watching today. Remember, I'm forever in your corner and I'm always rooting for you. I hope you come back to this episode across the next 90 days to make sure that you map it accordingly. I can't wait to hear what you learn about yourself.
