Is there a minimum length to a journal entry?
There are some journal writing practices that require a minimum of three pages with every sitting. For some, this is a daunting requirement resulting in fewer and fewer entries over time. What is most important when you sit down to write is that you allow yourself to write through the first five or so minutes of “noise” all of the things on your to-do lists, including your telephone calls. When you give yourself permission to write every day you discover that within a period of 20 to 30 minutes you are refreshed and can go on without some of the baggage you’ve been struggling under. Writing makes some space in your day’s perspective that you come to appreciate and anticipate.
