Tried swapping out my weekly layout mid-month and it threw off my whole system
I was sitting at my desk 2 weeks ago and decided my normal weekly spread was too boring. So I redid it with a new layout that had way more boxes and trackers. Turned my October into a mess because half my old notes didn't fit the new setup and I lost track of 3 dentist appointments. Spent a whole Sunday untangling it all. Has anyone else made a mid-month layout change and regretted it?

Wait, you seriously started over mid-month instead of just tweaking one section? That sounds like chaos waiting to happen. Those dentist appointments alone would have sent me into a spiral, I can't believe you lost track of three of them. I'd rather deal with a boring layout for a few weeks than risk my whole schedule falling apart like that. Honestly, switching everything at once is just asking for trouble, you should have kept the old setup and tested the new one on scrap paper first. Now you know better for next time I guess.

You're right about the scrap paper thing but honestly my sock drawer is the most organized part of my life right now. I found a receipt from 2019 tucked in there yesterday and a missing vape battery. The dentist appointments are a lost cause though, I'm pretty sure one of them was scheduled for a day that doesn't even exist on my calendar anymore. At least now I've got a system where I tape important dates to my coffee mug so I see them before I caffeinate.
