Debate: do you fix your broken spreads or start fresh?

I had a monthly spread that got completely off track after day 4, missed 3 task entries and the layout just felt wrong. Part of me wanted to white it out and power through, the other part said just flip the page and start over. What do you guys do when a spread goes sideways for you?

Flip the page every time. Wasting 10 minutes trying to fix a mistake is worse than just starting clean. Do you feel more productive after patching it up or after you restart?

Stop the presses, @charles_mitchell is actually saying flip the page? I thought I was the only one who couldn't stand looking at a messed up spread. No way I'm trying to white out three days of missed tasks, that page is cursed the second it goes wrong. Fresh start every time, no question. It just feels cleaner and I can actually focus again instead of staring at what went wrong.

Yeah but is it really about the page being cursed or do you just not want to face why you fell off track in the first place?
