Unpopular opinion: I skip the monthly spread entirely

Ran into a girl at a coffee shop downtown who was doing a full two-page calendar for July. She asked to see my journal and I showed her my bare bones daily log with just tasks and notes. She looked at me like I had three heads. Told me the monthly spread was 'essential for big picture planning.' I don't track events that far out. Has anyone else just dropped the monthlies and found it works better?

Three heads? lmao that's wild. I met a girl at Barnes & Noble last month who had 18 different color coded washi tapes for her monthly spread. She spent 45 minutes just decorating July. I was like honey, July is still three weeks away, calm down. I dropped monthlies two years ago and honestly my brain works better without them. I just use a sticky note on my wall for big stuff like birthdays or doctor appointments.

Oh I feel attacked right now, I have nine washi tapes for my to-do list.
