Tried a minimalist weekly spread vs my usual detailed one and it flopped

I've been doing these super detailed weekly spreads with 8 color pens and washi tape for like 2 years. Last week I tried a super minimal black pen only layout thinking it would save time. Ended up missing 3 appointments cause I couldn't find where I wrote them in all that empty space. The minimal look was nice but my brain needs those visual cues and colors to actually remember stuff. Has anyone else gone back to a more cluttered spread after trying to simplify?

betty said it best, those 8 colors were literally doing the heavy lifting for your brain. guess your schedule was just too loyal to the rainbow.

Those 8 color pens sound like they were keeping your schedule in check.
