TIL I was using my bullet journal wrong for 6 months until my friend pointed out I was mixing up my daily log and monthly spread

I was just doing one long list every day with no signifiers until a coworker saw my notebook and asked why I was rewriting the same tasks every single morning.

Right? The signifiers thing tripped me up too. I spent like three months just doing a running list with no bullets or dots so everything looked the same. My friend finally saw it and was like "why are you just making a shopping list every day but for your whole life?" Total game changer when I figured out what a proper daily log was supposed to look like.

That's a good point about the signifiers. So what ended up being the thing that made it click for you? Like was it a specific video or maybe somebody explaining it a different way? I ask because I still feel like I'm half guessing on when to use bullets versus just a regular sentence. Some days my log looks like a mess of random stuff and I can't tell what's important later.
