As a possibly interesting (or just plain tedious) aside: you'll have a heck of a time making a 1k document in programs like Word (and its kin). At least 8k is applied in Word, for example, for formatting and basic file setup by default, even in a blank document (and this was more than a decade ago; probably has a higher minimum now). NotePad, TextEdit and other basic text programs that don't use formatting only count the content, I think.
As for the exercise, excellent idea. Consistent, short bursts of practice seems to work well for me too; certainly, in the absence of practicing at all, but also as a way of overcoming reticence or pressure to produce something big and grand (which I always hope will come later).
