Pro tip: monthly spreads vs. weekly dailies - one just clicked for me

I've been bullet journaling for about 8 months now and I always did the big monthly spread with all the days listed out. Then I'd try to fit my tasks in those little boxes and it never worked. Last month I switched to a weekly layout where I just number the days down the left side of a two page spread. I have room for notes and little check boxes next to each day. It's way more flexible for my schedule since I don't always know what I'm doing on Thursday when I set up the month on Sunday. The monthly spread felt like pressure to plan everything too far ahead. Now I actually use my journal every day instead of just staring at empty boxes. Has anyone else found that switching layouts helped them stick with it?

Same thing happened with me when I switched to weekly spreads.
