The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform i'tikaf in the first ten days, seeking out the Night of Decree, because the Night of Decree is in Ramadan without a doubt. Then he performed i'tikaf in the middle ten days, seeking out the Night of Decree. Then it was told to him that it is in the last ten days, so he performed i'tikaf in the last ten days, seeking out the Night of Decree.
