Can we talk about how I was numbering my weekly spreads wrong for months

I was setting up my March spreads and realized I'd been putting the page numbers in the bottom corners, but my friend in Austin pointed out it makes way more sense to put them in the top outer corners so you can flip through faster. What's your go-to spot for page numbers in your bujo?

Read a blog post once that argued for the top outer corner as the only logical choice. The writer said your thumb naturally rests there when flipping through a book or planner. Bottom corners get covered by your hand. Tried it and they were totally right, flipping through my old journals is a pain now. My go-to is definitely top outer corner, no question.

Top outer corner changed my life honestly. I read somewhere that our primitive brains process information in the top left first, so putting page numbers there just makes flipping feel natural. My friend in Seattle tried bottom corners for years and switching to top outer fixed her frustration with finding old spreads. The thumb thing is real too, your hand blocks the bottom when you flip. Bottom center is chaos, dont even get me started. What do you do for your index page numbering?

Top outer corner is the only way. I had mine in the bottom center for a year like some kind of animal.
