My daily spread was a mess until I tried a parking lot experiment

I kept running out of space for tasks in my bullet journal because I'd write too big. Last week I was sitting in my car at the Target on Main Street waiting for my kid and I drew tiny 4mm squares on a scrap page. Turns out those mini squares fit three lines of cramped handwriting and I can now fit 2 weeks on one spread instead of 5 pages. Anyone else ever randomly solve a layout problem in the weirdest places?

Yo that's genius. I once figured out the perfect weekly layout while staring at the ceiling tiles in a dentist's waiting room. Sometimes your brain just solves stuff when you're not even trying.

Three ceiling tiles in my old apartment bathroom had a crack pattern that looked like a map... I used that to visually sort out my whole client schedule for the week. @drew791 is right, it's like your brain just starts putting things in order when you stop trying to force it. I still use that mental image when I'm reorganizing my route.
