I think I’m over-thinking my journaling.

I was just going to write for ten minutes each day, but then after I read something, I decided to go for three pages every morning. Then I started questioning what time frame constitutes “morning”? Do I need to get up earlier to make it the first thing I do? Can I do it during lunch? Is it too late to do it after I get off work?

My journaling today ended up being writing about this very topic. Writing about it helped me make some sense out of it.

For now, I’m going to try to keep from being too legalistic about it all. So my tentative plan is to write three pages if there’s time. Just ten minutes if there’s a time crunch. Morning hours if it’s a day off. Whatever works around my schedule on work days.

I can over-think myself right into inactivity.
