Stopped doing weekly spreads after a coworker at the coffee shop called me out

I was at Blue Bottle on 3rd Street last month and this guy saw me setting up my weekly layout and said I was just making to-do lists with extra steps. He was right, so I stripped it down to just daily rapid logging and my productivity actually went up. Has anyone else ditched their fancy layouts for the bare bones method?

My buddy Mike tried the whole fancy weekly planner thing for like three months. He finally gave up after he spent more time decorating his layouts than actually doing any of the tasks. Now he just uses a single notebook page per day and says it's way less stressful.

Used to swear by fancy planners myself but honestly now I'm starting to see his point...
