Thought those little sticker dots for my monthly log were a waste of $4, then I counted my tasks for one week

Back in 2021 I bought a sheet of 300 colored dots at an Office Depot in Dayton and they sat in my drawer for almost a year because I figured writing a circle by hand did the same job. Then I did a test week in my Leuchtturm where every dot meant one finished task, and by Friday I could see at a glance that I'd spent most of my time on email instead of the three things that mattered. Seeing those little green and blue dots clustered in one corner hit way harder than any handwritten checkmark. Now I keep the dots in the pen loop of my cover, which is dumb but it works. Does anyone else color code by type of task, or do you just go one color and call it good?
