A friend called my weekly spread a waste of space and it forced me to simplify
I used to cram every single day into a two page weekly layout with color coded boxes for work, meals, exercise, and to-dos. Last month a buddy looked over my shoulder and said that looks like a calendar for a robot, not a human. At first I was annoyed, but then I realized he was right. I was spending 20 minutes each Sunday just setting up all those boxes and color keys. I cut down to a simple running task list with only three symbols: a dot, a check, and a star for priorities. Now I finish my weekly setup in 5 minutes and I actually use the thing instead of just filling it out. Has anyone else had to trash their whole system after someone called them out?

Trashed my whole color coded system after my sister said it looked like I was doing homework for fun. Now I just use a bullet in a notebook with a tiny arrow for moves and an X when its done. Takes me maybe 2 minutes to set up and I actually look at it daily.
