My sister-in-law called my bullet journal a 'to-do list with extra steps'

We were having coffee and she said, 'You spend an hour drawing boxes just to write 'buy milk'?' It hit different because I realized I was focusing more on the art than actually getting things done. Has anyone else had to scale back the decoration to make their journal actually work?

Ever just use a cheap notebook for a while?

Yeah, I was the guy who always bought the expensive ones. Figured the paper quality mattered more. But I grabbed a basic one at the store last month and just filled it up. Honestly, the cheap one got used more because I wasn't worried about messing it up with a dumb idea. Makes you wonder why we spend so much on something meant to be scribbled in, right?
