Welcome to our 30-day routines and habits challenge.
You’ve taken the first step to improving your daily life by signing up for 30 Days To Your Best You! The challenge will kick off on Monday, August 28. Sign up here if you haven’t already.
Our mission is to help you create a well-designed life. What we do on a daily basis matters. Our daily habits either support what we want out of life—or they don’t. It’s the small steps, accumulated over time, that lead us to a lifetime of purpose and happiness.
We’ve compiled the most effective routines and habits to add into your daily life. They are meant to be quick, easy, and ultimately rewarding. You’ll add in just one small habit each day. You’ll build on it. You’ll change the course of your day, and in turn, the course of your life.
Read on for details about the challenge and what you can do to set yourself up for success…
What You Can Expect
One New Habit Per Day – Starting Monday, August 28, you’ll receive a tip a day for 30 days straight. We’ll send this overnight so it’s waiting in your inbox first thing in the morning. The daily tips build onto each other so the goal when you receive the second tip is to implement the first two habits, and so on.

Dear Day Designer team, I am so excited for this challenge as I am starting a new job on May 1st as well. Although, I have been told I over plan I am looking for focus and intention with this challenge. Go Team!!
That’s perfect! You’ll be establishing good habits from the start. We wish you the best on your first day of your new job, Nathalie!
I’m excited to start this 30 day challenge with you all!
Thanks for joining, Jennie! We’re so excited to have you on board!
It is the afternoon of May 1st and I never received my first day although I have received every other email I checked spam and it isn’t there either.
Hi Robin, I’m SO sorry! I confirmed that you are all signed up for the challenge, so this is odd! Would you mind contacting us here so that our team can help you out? Our records show that the Daily Habit email was delivered today at 3:16 am ET. Did you by any chance end up finding it after you wrote this? If not, we’ll be happy to forward the email to you!
I’m in! And I posted about it on my blog.
Cindy
I’m enjoying the challenge, great tips so far! Thank you!
Thank you for letting us know! We’re so happy you’re participating and enjoying it!
I am trying to start this today, although my clock isn’t the same as yours. I’m still partly studying for exams, partly having vacation + summer jobs this month, so I might re-do this in October when I go back to uni for real if it doesn’t work out now.
Hi Anne! That sounds great! With the difference in times, you could always do the habits one day after. It’s all about adding one simple habit per day and building on it. So “when” you do it can be totally flexible! At the end of the challenge, we’ll send you a list of all habits and you can certainly do them on your own time. Best of luck to you!
Did this start yesterday? I haven’t received any prompts yet.
Hi Jen! So sorry! There was a glitch with participants who were a part of our previous challenge who also want to be part of it this time around. I’ve added you though, and you should start receiving daily habits tomorrow. I’ll request that our customer service team send you emails with habits from day 1 and 2 in the meantime! Thank you!
Hi there. I believe I was part of the glitch too. I’d love to receive the habits.
So sorry about that, Brenna! We’ve added you just in time for Wednesday’s habit email. Thank you!
I believe I may also be part of the glitch as I signed up but haven’t received any of the emails for the challenge. Thanks so much!
