My sister told me to skip the fancy spreads and just use a pencil

She said to just write down my three main tasks for the day in my bullet journal and nothing else. I tried it for a week in March and got more done than the whole month before when I was drawing weekly calendars. Has anyone else found that keeping it simple works better for them?

Wait, is this really a life changing thing or are we just overthinking how we write to-do lists? I mean, it's cool that it worked for you, but it's just a pencil and some paper. Maybe we all just need to do the work instead of making the list look perfect.

Heard of decision fatigue from too many lists?

Hold on, you got more done in one week than the whole month before? That's actually crazy. I've been making these detailed trackers for months and maybe that's the problem. @luna_wright might be onto something about just doing the work, but if a pencil list is what gets you to actually do it, then that's the real trick. I'm throwing out my markers tonight.
