My daily log went from 6 pages of color to a single black pen over 2 years
Back in 2021 I was doing full monthly spreads with washi tape, 4 colored pens, and little mood trackers in the margins, and it took me almost 2 hours every Sunday. Somewhere around last March I realized I was spending more time decorating than actually writing down tasks, so I switched to one black pen and a basic dot grid. Now my daily log is barely half a page and I actually look at it, which beats a pretty layout I ignore. Part of me misses the fun of the colorful stuff though, and I still keep one washi roll in the drawer. Did the simple setup stick for you or did you end up going back to the fuller spreads?
