Sure! Whenever I'm brainstorming trials, I look at my to-do lists for recurring items that I could possibly automate.
Here are some that I'm doing right now:
Put dishes into dishwasher after eating.
Exercise for half an hour three days a week.
Spend half an hour three days a week reading a book from the canon by my community pool.
Don't buy any new music until I've satisfactorily absorbed the music I have (I have about 15 unopened CDs.)
Don't watch television or any movies unless it's something a friend recommended to me.
Spend 10 minutes a day thinking of lyrics.
Spend 10 minutes a day at the 4-track thinking of melodies to record.
Don't pace while on the phone (A nasty habit I've had all of my life.)
Don't put phone calls on to-do list if they can be made now (Phone anxiety.)
Whenever I'm upset with a friend or family member, take the time to journal and figure out what is upsetting me, if it is justifiable, and if so how to resolve it. (Conflict resolution.)
Trials like the conflict resolution one have been insanely helpful but were extremely difficult to translate into a trial and to think of in the first place. Still I'm getting better at turning more seemingly abstract obstacles into the trial format, and I'm really getting a kick out of living them.
