Wasted $180 on a fancy planner system that I never opened after January

I saw this whole planner thing all over Instagram last fall. The kind where you buy the cover, the inserts, the stickers, the whole setup. Spent like $180 total with shipping. Thought it would organize my business and my life. Opened it up January 1st, wrote in it for like two weeks. Then I just stopped. It's sitting on my shelf right now collecting dust. Meanwhile I still use a $2 notebook from the grocery store and Google Calendar. Has anyone else fallen for the fancy planner trap or is it just me being impulsive?

mousepad" is WAY better than my $180 dust collector.

My brother bought one of those expensive systems a few years back. Ended up using the cover as a mousepad and threw the rest away. Grocery store notebook and a calendar app are the only things that ever worked for me, too.
