Traded my monthly spread for a weekly one three weeks ago

I used to swear by monthly layouts. Thought they gave me the big picture. Then I kept losing tasks in the gaps between weeks. Switched to a simple weekly spread after seeing a post on here about how someone tracks habits better that way. Now I actually check my journal every day instead of once a month. Anyone else find weekly works better for daily stuff?

My friend Carol made the same switch last fall after years of using monthly spreads. She said she kept forgetting to schedule her dog's vet appointments and grocery runs because they fell between the weekly blocks. She got a simple weekly notebook from the drugstore and now she swears by writing down even small things like "water the plants" on specific days. It really helped her stop losing track of little errands that her old monthly layout just couldn't catch.

Carol’s mindset is exactly right, @maryh96. I started listing even “buy milk” on my daily page and it stopped those tiny things from falling through the cracks. Honestly, the drugstore notebooks are perfect for that.
