I think the rationale behind a 30-day trial as opposed to 21 days is that you go through the 21 days that build the habit, and then once it's built (so you don't have to exert a lot of energy to maintain it), the remaining 9 days allow you to get a feel for what life is actually like with the new habit so you can objectively evaluate it.
