Why does nobody talk about how long it takes to set up a new bullet journal?

I spent over two hours last night just trying to draw a simple future log grid that didn't look crooked. I used a ruler and everything, but the lines kept coming out uneven. Has anyone found a faster way to do this?

My first bullet journal took me a whole weekend to set up... I was so meticulous. Now I just use a regular notebook and freehand a rough calendar on the first page. It saves hours and works just as well for me.

My mood tracker only lasted two weeks before I started forgetting to fill it in lol. Now I just do a weekly spread with my tasks and a tiny habit tracker in the corner, takes maybe 15 minutes on Sunday night. The rest of the pages are blank for random notes and doodles. Way less pressure and I actually stick with it now.

Totally feel that. Honestly gave up on perfect grids ages ago. Just scribble it in pencil first now, way less stressful.
