Spent 3 hours trying to fix my monthly spread layout before I realized the real problem

I was getting so frustrated because my monthly task list always felt cramped no matter how much space I left. After redoing the whole thing three times, I finally noticed my boxes were just a few millimeters too narrow for my handwriting. Turns out I just needed to switch to a finer tip pen instead of my usual 0.7mm one. Has anyone else had a simple tool swap fix their whole layout problem?

Wow, that's actually a game changer, never thought of trying a finer tip lol.

Exactly, but here's the thing nobody's talking about - finer tips also wear down way faster than the standard ones. So yeah, it's great for detail work but you're gonna be swapping them out constantly if you do any kind of heavy handed strokes. I switched to a finer tip for a while and burned through a pack in like half the time. Had to go back to medium just to save my wallet.
