Vent: Lost half my February spreads because I used the wrong pen

Last month I was setting up my weekly layout in my new Leuchtturm notebook and grabbed what I thought was a dry Micron. Turned out it was a cheap gel pen that smudged across two whole days of tasks after I closed the book. I was at my desk in the basement when I opened it back up Monday morning and saw the mess. Now I gotta tape in replacement pages or just skip those days entirely. Anyone else ruin a spread with a bad pen pick?

Taping in replacement pages sounds like more work than it's worth. Is a smudged spread really that big of a deal? You can still see most of the tasks, right? Might just be me, but I'd just leave it and call it a lesson learned. People get way too precious about their notebooks. A few ink stains never hurt nobody. Move on and use the right pen next time.

Yeah plus half the fun is making messy mistakes and learning.

@harper_wells tbh my Leuchtturm spreads look like I fell asleep on them half the time too.
