Documenting the glacial pace of our neighborhood garden project in my bujo

They started a community garden plot two summers ago and it's still mostly weeds and good intentions. My bullet journal from that time shows my optimistic planting schedules gradually giving way to resigned notes about 'maybe next year.' Curious if other bujo users find themselves archiving local false starts like this.

Three failed plots taught me to log obstacles early.

Tried to wing a project last month without tracking anything. Honestly, it was a disaster waiting to happen. Tbh, I ended up with so many unresolved issues that I had to start over twice. Ngl, learning that lesson the hard way made me appreciate logging like nothing else. Now I jot down every little hiccup immediately, even if it seems trivial. Turns out, my brain's memory is about as reliable as a chocolate teapot.

Logging needs to be proactive, not a reaction to failure. @angela_knight3's experience with unresolved issues proves that. I note obstacles during my morning review, no matter how small. It creates a searchable history that actually prevents repeat mistakes.
