Reflect and Share

Make sure to add this project to your agenda and share it with someone who would enjoy discovering their thoughts through journaling!

Find Your Space

Before you start writing, find a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be interrupted for at least 10 minutes. This could be a cozy corner in your home, a quiet café, or a tranquil spot in a local park.

Gather Your Tools

Grab a notebook or some loose sheets of paper and a pen. Initially, it's better to write longhand as this tends to enhance free-flowing thought. A favorite pen can make the experience more enjoyable.

Set a Timer

Use a timer to make sure you write for precisely 10 minutes. This removes the pressure of clock-watching and allows full immersion in the writing process. Ensure the alert is gentle to avoid an abrupt end.

Start Writing

Begin writing as soon as you start the timer. Don’t worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation—just let your thoughts flow onto the page. Don’t stop writing, even if you write, 'I don’t know what to write,' until another thought comes along.

Reflect, Don’t Edit

After the timer goes off, take a moment to read through what you’ve written. Reflect on any themes or emotions that emerged, but resist the urge to edit. The goal here is to capture raw, unfiltered thoughts.
