I always thought my weekly spreads had to be perfect grids

I was watching a video from a creator named Jamie at the Denver Public Library bullet journal meetup, and she just drew a big messy circle for her tasks. It hit me that I was spending more time on my ruler than on my actual plans. Now I just freehand boxes and it saves me like 20 minutes every Sunday. What's one rule you've broken in your bujo that actually made it better?

My weekly habit tracker used to be this perfect ten slot grid. Honestly, it stressed me out when I only had three things to track that week. Now I just draw little lines for each habit day as I go, like tally marks. It looks messy but it actually gets used, and that's the whole point for me.

Totally get that. I tried bullet journaling for a month and spent more time drawing straight lines than actually doing any of the habits.
