Why Keep a Two-Sentence Journal?
De minimis non curat Lex
Keeping a two-sentence journal helps you take time for yourself and resist constant productivity pressure. It protects your privacy from digital surveillance and creates a unique record of your life and local history. Writing regularly also sparks creativity, avoids social media stress, and preserves something personal that machines cannot copy.

Fuck productivity. You are more than your work – and more than your output. You deserve to spend your finite time on Earth on your own concerns. A life should have more to it than bare neoliberal necessity and empty authoritarian compulsion.
Keeping a journal is one step in the direction of productivity-free autonomy. It encourages you to take a moment for you, and re-center your attention on what it means to live as yourself.
