Hi everyone! I've been doing this challenge called 30 days of intentionality (30doi) and I thought I'd explain how I'm doing it in case anyone wants to join in! I have no prompts for this one bc it is by nature quite personal.
THE CHALLENGE
Similar to the 30 days of productivity challenge, this one is really open to interpretation. Anyone can do it and mold it however they like, I'm just here to give a little bit of guidance to those who need it.
For me, intentions include 'keeping in good health', 'studying for my dream job', 'working towards my career', 'maintaining and building good friendships'.
If you're unsure about how to format your posts, this is what i include:
- date
- intentions (if you make these vague, it's a good idea to elaborate on how you plan to achieve your intentions)
- a recommendation (current reads, songs, movies, videos, etc)
- reflection
- tags with #30doi
here's an example of one of my 30doi posts for reference
other notes:
I usually update my post throughout the day, crossing out the stuff I've done and adding in a reflection before bed if i can.
You can do this challenge manually, I sometimes write my intentions down on paper for a few days and then transcribe (you don't have to transcribe)
This challenge should be for you, don't worry about posting consistently, or making your posts pretty. the important thing is that you are being intentional with your day.
Even if you don't physically post or write your intentions, try to think to yourself what they might be each day, and try your best to meet those.
Off-days are okay, in fact, they are what make this challenge a real challenge. if you're just running on the momentum of having had a perfect streak, there's no difficulty in this
Tag your posts under the tag #30doi so that others can see your posts and interact (including me)
if you want a reblog, i track the tag #heydilli which can be used for non-challenge posts too
That's all I can think of for now, but like I said, the 30doi is open to interpretation and i am by no means taking credit for 'creating' the challenge. like i mentioned for the 30dop, i don't really believe these challenges can be created. Below the cut is a rant about intentionality and my reasons for doing this challenge if you want to have a read.
Hope to see your posts and progress,
xx dilli 🤍
What is intentionality?
We all know what intentions are—your purpose and meaning behind doing something. Intentionality is bigger, it is "the structure which gives meaning to experience." Intentionality is your capacity to have intentions.
Having intentions governs how you perceive every experience you have. Take this example: if your intention for tonight is to wind down and relax, settling down in front of the TV will be viewed as a way to rest, reset, recover. If however, your intention for tonight is finish up uni work, watching TV will be viewed as a way that you procrastinate and avoid doing your work. Your perception of anything, then, is informed by your intentions.
Without intentions, anything that you do can seem pointless. I often have a never-ending list of assignments, but if I don't actively intend to do work, watching Youtube all night doesn't seem like a bad thing—after all, it's not like I intended to do anything else with my time.
Why am I doing this challenge?
Lately I find myself moving through my daily routine rather mindlessly. I do a bit of schoolwork here, a bit of mindless scrolling there, but I don't really know why I'm doing these things. I have goals that I'm working towards, but they seem distant and unaffected by my day-to-day choices. In reality, though, the choices that I make every day are what determine whether I reach my goals, where I will be and what kind of person I am in five or ten or however many years. By setting intentions, I will make it clear what I should be doing and why it is important that I do it. The idea is that by merely logging my intentions and results over these 30days, I will subconsciously be predisposed to fulfil those intentions

30nym challenge day 2: Share a photo of your study area!
I'm traveling currently, so I don't have a workspace or desk right now. Instead, here's some snapshots from the cafe yesterday where my partner and I finally figured out the first ~30 spots on our rank lists (couples matching). Now we have to go through the rest of the combinations :') but we took a break to journal, read, and enjoy some tasty coffee.

Hello, everyone. I´m just returning from summer vacation, and getting ready to return to routine. Right now, i´m taking a class that i failed last year, and so far i have to go only once a week for the first couple of weeks. How´s it going everyone?
Day 6: Are you a tea person or a coffee person? Or neither?
It depends of the day, i like both, but there are days that i drink one more than the other. But if i have to choose, i´m a coffee person.

🗒 first day of productivity:
26 jan 2024 | friday
↳ entry;
today was so busy! i was invited out tomorrow, that is saturday, to go out. so, i tried my best to finish all my work beforehand. i'm proud i finished it all--i was for real worried i wasn't going to. it's such a small accomplishment, but this is the first time i don't procrastinate before hanging out
aaah... this means i just need to study for pre-calculus this weekend (y'all i have such a bad percentage in that course. it's so embarrassing).
to-do list:
survey of hispanic culture :
✓ assignment: comprehension questions, chap. i-ii
✓ assignment: comprehension questions, chap. iv-vi
introduction to literature :
✓ assignment: response i
✐ᝰ.ᐟ if you are in school or university/college, what are you studying? if you work, what do you do?
currently, i am studying computer science! as for work, i babysit--the child i take care of makes me envy the zealous energy small children have everyday ((T_T))

if this 30 day challenge thingy i’m doing had specific rules, i would’ve already failed; i was out all day w my grandparents and couldn’t do my usual small routines
i love that part of my family dearly, and i’ll gladly prioritize them over productivity, and yet at the end of the day i felt almost directionless, whereas my habits are aimed to keep me centered 🌾🪷
i finished this lil crochet leaf sprout tho!!!🪴🐛

Starting the 30nym challenge a little bit late, but here goes!
Day 1: What are your main goals for this challenge?
I haven't done a study challenge in a long time (years?) so I'm excited to answer the prompts, do some self-reflection, post more regularly, and be more active in the studyblr community.
