I finally figured out why my weekly spreads kept falling apart by Wednesday
For about six months now I've been doing bullet journaling on and off, and every time I'd set up a nice weekly spread it would look great on Sunday but by Tuesday or Wednesday I'd have stuff spilling into the margins and crossing things out. I thought I was just bad at planning or picking the wrong layout. Then last week I paid closer attention to what I actually write down during a typical workday. Turns out I was trying to cram 4 or 5 tasks into each day when in reality I only do about 2 or 3 solid things plus random small stuff. So I switched to a minimalist weekly layout with just 3 task slots per day and a little notes section on the side. It's been 9 days now and my pages actually look clean at the end of the week. Has anyone else found that their problem wasn't the layout but how many tasks they were trying to squeeze in?

4 or 5 tasks into each day" - man, I'm impressed you even got to Wednesday before it fell apart. I usually don't make it past my second coffee.

Honestly same, my Tuesday was a dumpster fire right from the start.
