Had a barista in Portland teach me a new spread layout and it was a game changer
I was sitting in this tiny coffee shop in Portland last month working on my weekly spread and I was pretty stuck on how to fit my work deadlines and personal habits without it looking like a mess. The barista came over to refill my water and saw me staring at my journal. She asked if she could take a look and then she showed me this way to split my page into three vertical lanes instead of the usual horizontal rows. She used one lane for tasks, one for notes, and one for random ideas that pop up. I tried it the next day and now I actually get why people say layouts matter so much. Has anyone else had a random stranger give them a tip that totally changed how you journal?

Notice that three-lane split method has a name I think, the Dutch Door layout or something like that. I have to ask though, how do you handle the middle lane when it gets full before the end of the week? Do you just start writing smaller or do you migrate those notes to a different page? That is the part that always trips me up when I try something new.
