Got told my weekly spreads were too cluttered after a buddy glanced at my journal

A guy I work with on a remodel saw me flipping through and said 'dude, that looks like a tax form, not a plan.' I stripped it down to just a task list and a tiny habit tracker and my productivity actually went up. Anyone else get feedback that totally reframed their layout?

Minimal always beats maximal.

I guess I'm not sure why it has to be a competition. "Minimal always beats maximal" feels like one of those blanket rules people say to sound deep. Like, I've had a maximalist living room with lots of plants and different colored pillows and it was cozy and fun. But then again, my minimalist kitchen with just white cabinets and no counter clutter is way easier to clean. So maybe it just depends on what you're doing and what you like.
