My supervisor said my habit spreads were too cluttered so I cut to 3 colors max

She pointed out I was using 8 different pens for weekly logs and nothing was actually trackable at a glance. Has anyone else had to completely simplify their system based on feedback from a coworker who saw their journal?

That's a really interesting point about getting feedback from a coworker. I read somewhere that bullet journaling is supposed to be about capturing info fast, not making art. Maybe 3 colors is the sweet spot for actually seeing what matters.

Wait, THREE colors is the sweet spot? Seriously? I mean I know people go overboard with like 12 different highlighters but I can barely remember to grab one pen half the time. That feels kinda wild to me, like you'd still be spending more time switching markers than actually writing things down.
