One question that comes up a lot: how long is a Journey supposed to last? The honest answer is that it depends entirely on what you're tracking, and there's no wrong length — but it helps to think about which kind of Journey you're actually running.
Journeys with a natural finish line
A pregnancy, a tattoo healing, a renovation, a semester of hair growth you're deliberately tracking — these have a clear endpoint built in. For these, the right move is usually to keep going until the thing itself is finished, then either archive the Journey as a keepsake or export it.
Journeys without one, and that's fine
Body, Skin, and Pet Journeys often don't have a natural end — they're closer to an ongoing habit than a project with a finish line. For these, "how long" is really a question of whether the habit is still useful to you. As long as you're still curious about the change, there's no reason to stop.
Track your own change, privately.

Unlike a subscription you feel pressure to "use," a paused Journey doesn't cost you anything — the photos just sit there, private and organized, until you pick it back up. Plenty of people start a Journey, pause it for months, and return to it later without losing anything. There's no wrong way to pace it.
