My bujo is a mess because I keep trying to copy those perfect spreads online

I spent 3 hours last Sunday on a weekly layout that I saw on Instagram, but it just doesn't work for how my brain tracks tasks. How do you make your journal actually useful instead of just pretty?

Ugh, those perfect spreads are such a trap.

Totally agree with @charles836, they waste so much time.

Honestly though, is it that deep? It's just some paper and stickers. People can enjoy things without it being a trap.

Three hundred bucks for a traveler's notebook setup is pretty deep for paper and stickers though. I mean, how many of those sticker packs are you actually going to use versus just hoarding them for the aesthetic? Not saying people can't enjoy it, but when folks are spending hours curating a single page that nobody's gonna see again, it makes you wonder what they're getting out of it versus just the rush of buying the stuff.
