Switched from a daily log to a monthly spread and my productivity tanked

For the past 3 months, I tried using a big monthly spread in my Leuchtturm1917 instead of my usual daily rapid logging. My task completion rate dropped by like 60% because I stopped seeing the small, urgent stuff. I think the pressure to fill a whole month's page made me avoid opening the journal... it felt too heavy. Anyone else find that simpler daily pages just work better for getting things done?

Honestly that "pressure to fill a whole month's page" feeling is the worst, it totally kills the vibe.

Wait you stuck with it for three whole months after seeing your tasks drop that much... that's some serious dedication to a system that clearly wasn't working. I would have gone back to dailies after like a week tops. The empty page pressure is real but letting it slide for that long is wild to me.
