Rant: That tracker setup took me 3 hours longer than it should have

I spent last Saturday trying to set up a habit tracker for water drinking and it somehow turned into a 5 hour ordeal. I kept re-drawing the grid because my ruler slipped, then I messed up the shading order twice. All I wanted was a simple 30 day tracker but I ended up scraping three pages before I got it right. Has anyone else spent way too long on what should have been a 10 minute spread?

I used to think people were overreacting when they talked about spending hours on a simple tracker. Then I tried making one myself and it took me like four hours. The thing that really got me was the shading debacle, I kept picking colors that looked good on the paper but then I'd fill in one square and realize it clashed with everything else. Ended up just using a black pen and a highlighter because I was done messing around. So yeah, I get it now. Sometimes the simplest stuff turns into a whole project for no good reason.
