Had a friend tell me my spreads were too cluttered and it stung but she was right
She pointed out I was using 6 different colors for tasks that could just be one, so I cut down to black and one accent color. Now I actually read my weekly log without getting a headache anyone else get called out like that?

Six colors is a lot. I switched from three highlighters to just one and it made a huge difference in actually using my planner. Sometimes you need someone to call you out to realize you're overcomplicating things.

oh man, i did the same thing. i had like 5 different pens and highlighters for my planner and honestly it just stressed me out more. the whole point of a planner is to help you not to become a whole project. now i just use one black pen and one highlighter. if something is really important i underline it twice. simple as that. it frees up so much mental space when you aren't constantly deciding which color to use for which category. sometimes less really is more.
