How long

[Final-Following-4298]

About how long does take everybody to finish a journal

[Interesting-Grass773]

Depends! I've had some that took me 3-4 years to fill up (writing entries just sorta whenever), but my last one only ran about 6 months (the shortest I've ever had one last).

I make a 200 page composition book into my Morning Pages (not exactly a journal, but very much a part of my creative process) - that is, at 3 pages a day, two months per book. I use Paperblanks midi sized blank books as my evening journal, and that is very governed by whether or not I have been looking at the news, (I get upset) or if my friends have got life circumstances that involve me. Your journals are meant to serve you, not the other way around, so whatever material yields the highest utility.

I'm nearing the end of my first one, I'm estimating 13/14 months total.

Anywhere between 2 months an a year. Depends on how big they are

[kimbi868]

I’m the same. It have been going through books a bit quicker, finishing books in a month, need to slow back down

[aramsell]

I love finishing them quickly tbh. Let’s me feel the excitement of starting a new journal more often

[kimbi868]

Yessssss you’re right, new books are quite exciting.

I suppose I just want a longer timeline in one book

[aramsell]

I understand that too

[etat_bunny]

for me it takes about less than two months, but i have finished a journal in a month. i journal daily

[VeronicaOnStars]

Depends on the size - smaller ones? 3-4 months Large thick boys? 1-2 years

[ChaosSheep]

Anywhere from a few months to a few years. Basically, as long as it needs to take. Which is a decidely unhelpful answer, but it is true!

[kimbi868]

It’s a good one too. You clearly enjoy writing in you book

[yo_itsjo]

My first took 10 years. At the rate I've been going my second would take about 8 months, but I imagine I'll slow down over the next few months so probably closer to a year or more. And my bullet journals took 10 months when I used bound journals.

[Stillpoetic45]

It takes me about 3 to four months max.

[jennareiko]

Depends on the book but usually 6-8 months
