Just realized my bullet journal was making me anxious after a trip to the dentist
I was sitting in the waiting room last Tuesday, flipping through my journal to kill time. I had a full two-page monthly spread with color-coded trackers for water, sleep, exercise, you name it. The dentist's assistant saw it and said, 'Wow, that looks like a second job.' It hit me that I was spending about 45 minutes a night just filling in boxes, not actually planning my life. I tore those pages out that evening. Now I just use a basic daily log and a single habit tracker. Has anyone else scaled back from an overly complex system and actually stuck with it?

My friend's bullet journal had a whole page just for tracking different types of tea... it was a lot. I told her the point is to make life easier, not harder.

Used to think that way too, but my wife's notebook for tracking our garden harvests actually saved us money. Turns out writing things down can cut waste in ways you don't expect. Now I get why your friend does it.
