I spent $60 on a fancy planner system that just made me feel worse

I saw a video about this special notebook method for tracking habits and goals, so I bought the exact branded set they showed. After two months, I realized I was spending more time setting up the pages than actually doing the things I wrote down. Has anyone else felt pressured by a 'perfect' routine they saw online?

My cousin bought a $200 bullet journal kit and now it just collects dust on her desk.

That "collects dust" line from @val949 hits way too close to home for me.

But you know what, @val949? Sometimes buying the thing is the whole point. The dream of being organized feels good enough for now, and the actual work can wait.
