Spent 3 hours trying to fix my habit tracker before realizing I drew the wrong amount of boxes

Honestly, I was adding a new habit tracker for 'drink water' and kept messing up my monthly layout. I redrew the grid like 4 times over 2 hours because the spacing kept shifting. Then I realized I was counting 31 days wrong and only needed 30 boxes for June. Took me a solid 3 hours total for something that should have taken 10 minutes. Has anyone else wasted a whole afternoon on a simple page mistake?

gave myself a pat on the back" - man I've been there. But honestly, is it really that big of a deal? I mean you're tracking meals, not landing a plane. I've messed up grids so many times I just scribble over the wrong column and write the real day in pen. It's a notebook, not a museum piece.

Drew out this whole elaborate weekly spread for my meal prep last Sunday, got really into it with different colored pens and everything. Had these neat little sections for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks all perfectly aligned. Spent maybe 45 minutes getting the grid just right, measuring each row with a ruler because I wanted it to look professional. Gave myself a pat on the back and went to fill in Sunday's meals only to discover I'd drawn seven columns instead of eight. I was so mad I just closed the notebook and didn't touch it for two days.
