Showerthought: My habit tracker took me a whole weekend to figure out.
I wanted a simple way to track my water intake and reading. Just two things. I spent Friday night sketching grids, trying to make it look nice. Saturday, I messed up the spacing and had to redo the whole page. I tried using washi tape to fix it, but that just made it worse. By Sunday afternoon, I had gone through about ten pages in my Leuchtturm notebook. I finally just drew two lines with a ruler and called it done. All that time for two lines. Has anyone else had a tracker idea that turned into a huge project?

Ugh, the color coding trap is so real. I did that with a workout log, adding symbols for mood and energy level. Updating it felt like a second job, so I just stopped.

Totally get this. I once tried to make a custom weekly meal planner. Started with a few boxes for dinners, but then I thought it needed a grocery list column, then a spot for recipe page numbers. Ended up with this crazy color coded chart that took three hours to draw. I used it exactly once because it was so complicated to update. The simple list on my fridge works way better.
