I thought using a ruler for all my spreads was a waste of time.

My friend in Austin swore by it, so I tried it for a month on my weekly logs. My pages look so much cleaner and I actually feel more focused when I'm writing things down. Do you use any tools like that, or do you prefer a more freehand style?

Yeah, "pages look so much cleaner" is the whole point, right? I read this thing about how neat lines can actually trick your brain into being more orderly with your thoughts. Gray_patel has a point about it maybe slowing you down at first, but doesn't that forced pace make you think a bit more about what you're writing? I used to think tools like that were just for looks, but now I see they change how you use the page. It's not about being perfect, it's about giving your ideas a clear path to follow.

Did you find it slowed you down at first, or was it a smooth change?
