Journaling in 10-Minute Chunks: A Daily Journaling Exercise

I recommend journaling in 10-Minute chunks. 

Why? Do 10-Minute chunks of journaling because it keeps you focused. It gives you an easy, attainable, and manageable goal. Also, we can focus for 10 minutes, no matter what is going on. 

~ Start with journaling for a period of time of 10 minutes. Set a timer and write as fast as you can and keep writing--don't stop. If you get stuck, write "I am journaling about..." and see what comes to mind. Keep repeating that, or a journaling prompt, until you know what to write next. Do whatever type of journaling you want to do. For example, do a SOC, do a journaling prompt/exercise, journal about the present or past or future, do a list, take an item from your Future Journaling List or your Memory Mining Lists, etc. 

~ After the 1st period of 10 minutes, do as many as you can until you run out of time and need to do something else.

~ Do 10 minute chunks several times a day.

~ Every week, do a 20-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour time chunk at least once
