My bullet journal saved me during the worst week of May

I had a week back in May where everything fell apart. Monday morning my car wouldn't start, then my boss told me I had to redo a big report by Friday. Tuesday I got a call that my aunt was in the hospital. By Wednesday night I was sitting at my kitchen table in Cleveland with tears in my eyes and no idea how to handle it all. I pulled out my bullet journal because it was the only thing that felt steady. I opened to my weekly spread and just started writing down what I could control - call the mechanic, visit the hospital Thursday afternoon, block out 2 hours for the report. Having those little boxes to check off got me through the rest of the week one step at a time. Has anyone else had a bullet journal help them get through a really rough stretch like that?

Mine just reminded me how many boxes I couldn't check that week lol.

Box checking is overrated anyway.
