2-Minute Journal Method

Here's a simple technique to build a sustainable journaling habit:

  • Set your phone timer for 2 minutes
  • Write the first thing that comes to mind
  • Keep writing until the timer rings
  • Stop immediately when it rings

That's it.

No rules about what to write. No pressure to be profound. No guilt if you miss a day.

Why It Works

The 2-Minute Method works because it eliminates the three biggest barriers to consistent journaling:

  • Decision Fatigue: No need to choose what to write about
  • Perfectionism: No time to overthink or edit
  • Time Pressure: Everyone has 2 minutes
