Spent 6 hours trying to fix a simple index layout that should have taken 20 minutes
I was setting up a monthly spread for April and decided to try a new index layout where I group things by category instead of by date. Sounded simple enough. But I kept running into the problem of what to do when something fits TWO categories. Like a doctor appointment - is that health or errands? I redrew the whole thing three times before I just gave up and went back to a straight date list. 6 hours of my Friday shot. Has anyone else fought with the index system way longer than it deserved?

I heard a bullet journal blogger talk about how she just picks ONE category per entry based on what feels more important at the time, and stops worrying about it being perfect. That stuck with me after reading it somewhere, but I still spent two hours on my own index last week overthinking the same thing. Sometimes you just gotta let a doctor's appointment sit under health and call it done.
