That time a barista in Asheville changed my whole bullet journal setup
I was getting coffee at this tiny place in Asheville last spring and the barista saw me scribbling in my journal. She asked if she could look at my weekly spread, which had this complicated color coding system I used for work tasks. She laughed and said 'you know, you're spending more time setting up the keys than actually writing things down.' I realized she was totally right so I ditched the colors and now I just use one black pen and a simple dot for priority items. Has anyone else had a stranger call out an obvious flaw in your system?

I had almost exactly the same thing happen with a coworker at a diner about two years ago. I was using like four different colored pens and highlighters for my meal prep list, and this cook just said "dude, you're organizing the organizing." I cut it down to one blue pen and a little star for anything urgent. Now I get the list done in like five minutes instead of messing around with the rainbow system for half an hour.
