My habit tracker key took me three weeks to figure out

I wanted a simple way to track my water intake and reading. Could not get the symbols right. Tried circles, squares, even little icons. Nothing clicked. Spent maybe 20 minutes every night for three weeks just redoing it. Finally landed on a tiny blue dot for water and a checkmark for reading. Feels obvious now. Anyone else get stuck on something that simple for way too long?

My key took two months, but @emeryp23 is right about simple working best.

My bullet journal key took me a solid month to finalize. I kept trying to make these perfect little drawings for habits like meditation and exercise. The pressure to make it cute was real. I finally just started writing the first letter of each thing in a colored pen. It works so much better and takes two seconds. Sometimes the simplest fix is the hardest to see.
