I’m a huge fan of challenging myself. It’s really fun to try something new and 30 days helps me to keep disciplined, focused and most of all, consistent. I’ve also found this to be the optimal timeframe when learning a new habit or really getting immersed in an experience.
You can find all of my completed 30-day challenges here!
I’m always up for suggestions for new and unique challenges, so I’d love to hear any of your ideas.
No Social Media for 30 Days
I’ve decided to do a 30-day challenge to stop using social media. I’ve read a lot about people performing ‘dopamine detoxes’ and similar detox style methods of removing certain things from their life (such as social media, tv, notifications, emails, etc.). People have found this to improve their productivity, increase their will power, and be …
How I Learnt to Juggle Clubs in 30 Days

Running 5km for 30 Days
I have been wanting to do a more physical challenge as my previous challenges have been focused more on mental aspects (stop complaining, wake up early, breaking a habit, and learning spanish).

How I Learnt to Juggle 5 Balls in 30 Days

A cajón (Spanish: [kaˈxon]; “box”, “crate” or “drawer”) is …
Learning Spanish for 30 Days
A challenge that I found interesting which my partner recommended to me was to learn a language. I’ve chosen Spanish because it’s a very common language and I would like to travel to South America in the future. I’ll be learning Spanish every day for 30 days. I’ll be completing this challenge with my partner. …
30 Day No-Complaint Challenge
To watch my video on this challenge, check it out below! I originally tried a 21-day no complaint challenge back in 2016. It was really fun. Every time I complained about something, I restarted the challenge. I failed 2 times very early, only getting a few days in each time. After the 2nd attempt, I …
