TIL a woman at the coffee shop in Austin said she writes her habit trackers in pencil on purpose, and now my bujo makes sense

I was sitting next to her last Tuesday and she saw me erasing a messed up tracker square and made a comment about it. She said she stopped using pen for habit grids about 2 years ago because missing a day used to make her want to flip the page and quit the whole week. In pencil she just erases and moves on, no guilt, no ruined spread. I tried it for the last 8 days and I actually finished the full week for the first time since March. It sounds small but seeing a clean grid instead of a scratched out mess kept me going. Does anyone else do a mix of pen and pencil, or am I late to this?
