My weekly spread got way too cluttered around month three
I started bullet journaling last January and for the first few months I was adding more and more trackers. By March my weekly spread had 11 different habit boxes and a color coded water intake thing. I finally realized I was spending 20 minutes every morning just filling in boxes instead of actually doing the things. Now I only track 3 things max per week and I leave half a page open for random notes or doodles. The whole system feels lighter and I actually stick with it. Anyone else hit a wall where their layout got too complicated?

Read somewhere that limiting trackers to 3 actually boosts consistency.

Total agreement here. I hit that same wall around month four when my tracker for tracking my trackers (yes, really) was the last straw. Now I keep it simple with just a mood dot and one tiny habit box per day, and it actually feels like a tool instead of a chore.
