I finally stopped overcomplicating my monthly log

For like 8 months I was doing these huge elaborate monthly spreads with color coding and washi tape everywhere. Took me 2 hours every month to set up. Then last week I stripped it down to just a simple list of tasks and events on one page. Nothing else. My brain actually feels clearer now and I spend way more time actually writing stuff down instead of decorating. Has anyone else gone from super fancy to basically bare bones? Feel like I was trying too hard.

Did you also find a pile of washi tape you bought and realize you're not a scrapbooker, you're just a person with a to-do list? Currently staring at $40 worth of tape I will never use.

I too have a drawer full of "motivational" tape that has successfully motivated me to never open a single scrapbook. It's basically just expensive sticker wallpaper now.
