Why does nobody talk about the week my bullet journal became a complete disaster because of a spilled smoothie
Last Tuesday I was having the best week ever with my bullet journal. I had this perfect weekly spread with color coded tasks and little doodles of my cat. Then out of nowhere my elbow hit my morning smoothie right onto the page. It soaked through like five pages of my Leuchtturm and turned everything into a sticky purple mess. I tried to dab it dry with paper towels but it just smeared worse. The worst part was my habit tracker for the whole month was ruined. Now I keep my smoothie on the other side of the desk far away from my journal. Has anyone else dealt with a liquid disaster that wrecked their whole setup?

The best week ever" over a bullet journal with cat doodles? Come on, it's a notebook with some colored squares. You can remake a habit tracker in ten minutes. I get being annoyed about a ruined page but five pages deep into a Leuchtturm? Sounds like you're overthinking the whole system. Maybe switch to a cheap spiral notebook if a smoothie is going to wreck your month.

Wait wait wait, @seth_singh20 thinks you can remake a habit tracker in ten minutes like it's nothing? You clearly don't understand the emotional investment that goes into color coding your water intake and mood rings for an entire month. I'd still be mourning that Leuchtturm like it was a family pet.

The 30-something color coding system for water intake feels like the real loss here. I mean, I spent a whole Sunday once reorganizing my mood tracker by season and now I have to figure out if June was "yellow anxious" or "orange tired" for a whole week. Maybe Seth is right though, idk. My cheap spiral from Target has survived coffee spills, dog drool, and a whole smoothie incident and it's still going. The Leuchtturm thing sounds like a lot of pressure for something that's supposed to help you drink more water.
