Vent: Tried to set up a simple habit tracker spread and spent 3 hours on it

I thought a mood tracker would take 20 minutes tops but then I got obsessed with picking the right icons and ended up redoing the whole thing twice, anyone else lose a whole afternoon to decorating a single page?

Gotta say @piperwhite, I kinda get the appeal though.

Three hours just for icons, that's insane

Actually, you kind of have to think about what goes into making icons. It's not just picking a shape and coloring it in. You have to think about the proportions, the line weights, making sure everything matches across the whole set. Then you test them at different sizes to make sure they're readable, and sometimes you have to redo a few because one of them looks weird next to the others. So yeah, three hours for a whole set of icons sounds pretty normal to me, especially if you're being thorough about it.
