What Lessons Have You Learned?

[inkstone]

I don't know about you, but I'm prone to bouts of perfectionism. "Oh no! I misspelled a word in the page header! I have to rip out the page!" Things like that. In my defense, I've gotten over this, but it was bad in the beginning.

Or even better, I come up for this awesome spread that I intend to use for this Important Collection^tm...that I completely forget about. This possibly has happened to me more than once.

So I was wondering if any of you have had similar experiences? Did you create a tracker or collection that you never use? If you suffer from perfectionism, how do you combat those impulses? Let's chat.

I've stopped trying to make my spreads more complicated than they need to be. ^_^

I started out using a 2 page weekly spread that had tons of boxes for notes, and spaces for a lot of different lists. I was ending up with pages that were more than half empty space. I looked at what I was really using the space for, and then redesigned my weekly spread to only take one page, and I like it much better.
