A leaky pen mistake on my bullet journal dashboard

I used a pen that bled through my journal pages. It made my dashboard look really messy with ink stains. I was upset because I like my spreads to be clean. But when I kept using the journal, the bleed-through didn't stop me from tracking my tasks. For example, I could still see my monthly goals clearly. This made me understand that bullet journaling is about getting things done, not making art. Now I don't worry as much about small errors.

Making a big deal out of pen bleed seems over the top. It's just paper, and it still works.

Totally get that, my ruined spreads taught me function over looks like @margaret916 said.

Argue that if your spread's a mess, you won't even want to use it.
