Blank pages in my bullet journal are driving me nuts
I spent a whole weekend setting up my April log with neat columns and fun stickers. Then I got swamped with family stuff and forgot to write anything for a week. Now I have a bunch of empty boxes that look sad. I thought about just skipping those days, but that defeats the purpose. Trying to remember what happened last Tuesday is pointless. It makes me want to toss the whole journal and start fresh. But I know that's not the answer. How do you deal with gaps in your tracking?

Ever notice how a blank page in a journal feels like it's judging you? I once left a whole month empty and then just drew a tiny tombstone that said "RIP my good intentions." Now I just scribble in a lazy cloud and label it "brain fog" for missed days. It's not pretty, but it stops me from starting over every time life gets busy.

What kind of journal cover are you using? I ask because @sarah_ward once told me about a beautiful leather one she threw out, empty pages and all, after a busy month. Now she just draws a big X over missed days and writes "life happened" in the margin. Her current journal has more X's than entries, and it's her favorite one yet.
