My old weekly spread used to take me over an hour to draw, but after my kid spilled juice on my journal last month, I switched to a simple 5-minute layout.

Has anyone else had a major journal mishap that forced a simpler system on you?

Notice how often a mess forces a better system. My whole kitchen routine got simpler after a broken shelf made me toss half my gadgets. Sometimes you need that push to stop overcomplicating things.

Ever read about how forest fires are actually good for the ecosystem? It clears out the old dead stuff so new growth can come in. That's basically what happens when our own little systems break down. Makes you wonder why we wait for things to fall apart before we fix them.
