Default I Want To Change Other Habits During A 30 Day Trial

So right now I'm in the middle of a 30 day trial to walk every day. It's pretty decent so far. However, I've gotten this desire to improve yet another habit during this trial. It's happened a lot in any trial I undertake, mostly because I read about other things I want to fix, and then I'm usually "shoot, I'm doing a trial NOW, if I overlap it might mess things up!" Cue me being pretty impatient with waiting the first trial out so I can fix the new habit I want to fix. Needless to say, this stinks. I know these things take time, but I'd like to see if there's anything I can do to A) peacefully wait it out or B) maybe start working on fixing these other habits at the same time.

I had this issue too.

I just decided to add in the new habit, but made sure that the first one always took precedence. If you start to get overwhelmed, drop the newest habits. Just don't try and change everything at once. Good luck.

Actually, I kinda slightly boned the first trial today, so I figured, "What the hey, I'll just restart and add the second one in too!" :V I think I'm ready for two at once-I'm fixing to make a thread about it for daily updates a go-go.
