My bullet journal saved me during a crazy 14-hour work day last Tuesday

I had back-to-back meetings from 8 AM to 10 PM in Chicago, and my usual rapid logging just fell apart by noon. I had to switch to a full-page brain dump on the spot, which felt like a total mess. Has anyone else had to completely change their system mid-crisis, and did you stick with the new way after?

I used to think my system was set in stone, but a day like that taught me to just go with whatever works.

Fourteen hours straight?! I mean I knew some jobs were bad but that sounds like actual torture. I would have lost my mind by lunch. Honestly switching to a brain dump seems smart when your normal system breaks, like you just gotta get it all out of your head. I tried a new layout once when I was super stressed and I still use parts of it now, so maybe your mess will turn into something that works better for those crazy days.
