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?
