PSA: I dropped all the stickers from my bullet journal

I thought they made planning fun but they just added clutter. Now a simple dot grid and one pen work way better for me.

Yeah that blank dot grid feeling is real. I had to just start a fresh notebook to break the sticker habit for good. What are you using the clean pages for now?

Ever notice how all those cute stickers just get in the way of actually writing things down? I went through the same phase and finally cleared mine out last month. My journal actually gets used now instead of just looking pretty. That blank dot grid is less pressure, you know?

My friend Sarah had a whole sticker book for her planner, like a full Trapper Keeper of them. She spent more time picking out the perfect floral border than writing her actual appointments. One Tuesday she was trying to find a dentist's phone number and it was buried under three layers of decorative tape. She ripped everything out that night and just uses a blue pen now, says her to-do list finally gets done.
