There has only been one time in my life where I was told to journal for 20-30 minutes (more if yo want to) without stopping. Just write whatever is in your head, even if it's "I don't know what to write." When I heard about it again last night...in a completely different context than the last time...I decided to give it a shot. I can see how it can be beneficial, so I think I will continue to try this and see what happens. It'll be good too because I have not been keeping up with my journaling very much over the last month or two.
