I used to think weekly spreads were a waste of paper...

My friend Sarah kept telling me to try weekly spreads for like 6 months. She said her whole system fell into place once she stopped doing just dailies. I was stubborn though, I figured dailies gave me enough flexibility and weeklies would just take up space. Then last month I missed two deadlines in the same week because I forgot to flip ahead and plan ahead. So I finally tried her method with a simple two-page weekly layout, just Monday through Sunday with a small tasks section. And honestly it saved my week almost immediately because I could see everything coming up at a glance instead of digging through each day. Has anyone else had that moment where you finally try a layout you swore you'd never use?

Two missed deadlines from not flipping ahead sounds more like a bad habit than a layout problem.

Feel for you on this one @anthony165... it's rough when small things like that pile up and cause bigger issues. Sometimes the way info is laid out just makes it way too easy to miss something important.
