TIL that pencil sketches help my bullet journal look neat

I used to dive right in with pen and often messed up. Then I began drawing my weekly spread lightly in pencil. This let me adjust things before committing. Now I waste less paper and feel more confident. Idk, maybe it's just me, but it works.

How long did it take you to make that switch? I did the same exact thing, always going straight for the pen and then getting so annoyed when a box was crooked. Started using pencil for the basic layout last month and it fixed everything.

Spending that much time on a planner seems intense.

My friend used to STRESS over her planner until @jana309 suggested pencil, and now it's a TOTAL game-changer.

Do you ever go back and erase the pencil lines, or do you just leave them there?
