Spent $80 on a fancy planner and never opened it after week two
Bought one of those leather bound goal setting planners from a trendy online shop. After week two I realized I was just writing the same tasks over and over. Anyone else fall for the "if you write it down you'll do it" trap?

Oh I KNOW what you mean. That "if you write it down you'll do it" thing is such a LIE for people like me. I bought one of those fancy leather ones too and after the first week I was just rewriting "call back Mrs. Henderson about the oak tree" over and over. What actually helped me was ditching the whole planner and just using a cheap spiral notebook. I write down THREE things I need to get done that day and thats it. No pretty layouts, no color coding, just a simple list. The fancy stuff just makes you feel productive without actually being productive.

And my best friend bought the cutest planner ever and just used it to doodle flowers on the first page for three months straight.
