Dealing with guilt over unused journaling supplies
/points to title/ Yeah, that's... pretty much my question in a nutshell.
When I was in grad school in 2016, a Filofax with inserts worked beautifully for me, and I bought the 2017 inserts. Except now I'm not in grad school any more, and the inserts REALLY don't. (In fairness, I don't think they ever did, they were just very good quality paper and made by a woman-owned small business that I was happy to support, so I did.)
I plan to switch over to a bullet journal (which I think will work much better for me) but I'm struggling to deal with the guilt of 'wasting' the old inserts - not helped by that I also bought a bound planner for a work thing that wound up not happening. Intellectually, I know it's just $40, and I've spent more money on stupider things, but try telling that to the brainweasels. Does anyone else get this? How do you deal with it?
