Pro tip: Stop color coding your weekly log
Spent 6 months using 5 different colored pens for work, personal, health, and finance entries. Realized I was spending more time picking pens than actually writing things down. Switched to one black pen and a single highlighter for urgent items only. Has anyone else found that simpler systems actually stick better?

Oh man, I feel this so hard. I switched to black pen only last month and it's way less stressful honestly. Color coding just adds a whole extra step to something that should be quick.

Wait does black pen only really work for you? I tried that for a bit but kept losing track of what was due when and what was just notes. The thing is if you're using a planner for deadlines black blends everything together and then you miss stuff. I found I only need two colors max. One for hard deadlines like bills or appointments and black for everything else. Keeps it simple without going full rainbow.
