Unpopular opinion: I thought the whole 'future log' thing was pointless until I tried it for real

For a solid year, I just used monthly spreads and ignored the future log section in my Leuchtturm1917. I figured it was just extra pages for people who liked to decorate. Then I planned a wedding in Seattle and had to track vendor calls and deposits that were months out. Scribbling those in the margins of my monthly pages was a mess. Having one spot to see the next 6 months at a glance completely saved my sanity. Anyone else have a part of the system they wrote off that actually became essential?
