Transcript — chunk map
Is there something you've always meant to do, wanted to do, but just haven't? Matt Cutts suggests a simple idea: try something new for 30 days. It turns out 30 days is just the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit from your life. Think about it — small steps, done consistently, can make a remarkable difference.

Core lexical chunk for expressing experimentation. Used across personal, professional, and creative contexts.
A2 · freq 9/10
just the right amount of time
Formulaic
the perfect amount of time / just enough time
literal: exactly the right amount of time
The pattern "just the right + noun" is a formulaic intensifier expressing precision. Very productive in English.

add a new habit
Collocation

"Add" collocates naturally with "habit". Native speakers say "add a habit", not "make" or "put" one.
