The day I stopped cramming 6 months into one weekly spread

I was making these super detailed weekly spreads with every single task and appointment color coded. It took me like 2 hours every Sunday night. Then last Tuesday I realized I never even looked at it after Wednesday because I was too busy actually doing stuff. What tipped me off was finding an empty page three months later with no marks on it at all. Has anyone else found a simpler layout that actually works for a chaotic schedule?

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me. I used to spend forever on those colorful spreads with washi tape and stickers, and then I'd forget the whole thing existed by Thursday. The empty page discovery is so real, I found a whole month from last year that I never touched once. What finally worked for me was just a tiny pocket notebook that I actually keep in my back pocket all day. I jot down maybe three things I need to do each morning and that's it, way less pressure and I actually stick with it.
