I finally saw my bullet journal wasn't working at a coffee shop in Denver

I was trying to plan my week and realized I'd spent 45 minutes just drawing boxes and lines. My friend looked over and said, 'That looks like a lot of work for a to-do list.' It hit me that I was making art, not a tool to help me. How do you keep your bujo from getting too fancy and slow?

Making art, not a tool" is exactly what happened to my friend Sam.

Hold on, does Sam's story actually mean the whole idea is bad? @aaron_adams, sometimes a tool just doesn't fit what someone wants to do. Maybe Sam tried to use it for a project it wasn't right for. It doesn't automatically make the tool itself wrong for everyone. People have different ways of working. I see folks get really mad when a new method doesn't match their old one, but that's just how new things go sometimes. It's not always some big failure.

What exactly did Sam try to use it for?
