Tried dot grid for a month, went back to blank pages for one weird reason
I used dot grid notebooks for my journal for almost 2 years and last month I bought a cheap blank page one at a shop in Portland just cause it was $6. Turns out without dots I stopped lining up my boxes perfectly and my monthly spreads stopped feeling like a chore. I ended up doodling more in the margins and actually using the journal instead of just setting it up pretty. My friend said her dotted one keeps her neat but mine made me weirdly tense about spacing. Anyone else find blank pages made them actually write more, or am I the only one who overthinks the dots?
