Shoutout to my sister who said my weekly spreads look like a chore chart

She pointed out all my trackers and said 'it's a journal, not a report card'... and honestly, I've been over-planning for about six months. Anyone else get too caught up in making it perfect?

But is that really such a bad thing? I mean, if a chore chart gets your life in order, who cares what it looks like. You're the one using it. Are you actually getting things done, or just spending hours drawing lines and picking colors? Sometimes a simple list on a napkin works just as well.

You know, @jesseb20 has a point about the napkin list. I got so caught up making a perfect chart once that I never actually cleaned anything. What finally worked for me was a whiteboard on the fridge. It's ugly and the marker squeaks, but seeing it every time I grab a snack reminds me to do one thing. The fancy system just became another thing to manage.
