Instructor told me my BuJo was a diary, not a planner, and honestly she was right

I took a 90 minute bullet journal class at the library here in Boise three weeks ago and the teacher flipped through my notebook in front of everyone. She pointed at my daily logs and told me I was writing paragraphs instead of rapid logging, and that a journal is not a bullet journal. That stung but she was not wrong because I had 14 pages of venting about my job with zero tasks on them. She showed me the migration trick and told me to only keep what still matters, so I started crossing stuff out at the end of each week. Now I do a 5 minute review on Sundays and my collections actually fit in one thin notebook instead of three. If you had a teacher or a friend call out your setup like that, what did you drop first?
