TIL my friend's daily planner system is actually making him less productive
He showed me his setup with color coded blocks for every 15 minutes of his day in Seattle. After three months, he admitted he spends more time adjusting the plan than doing the work. The constant tracking made him anxious about any small change. Has anyone else found that too much structure backfired?

My cousin in Austin had a similar system with six different highlighters.

Remember my college roommate who color coded everything. She had a whole rainbow of highlighters for her notes, but the system got so complex she needed a separate key just to remember what each color meant. Honestly think she spent more time picking colors than actually studying the material. It was a whole thing that got way out of hand.
