You actually fill every page no matter what? That's wild. Once I spilled coffee on my notebook and the last few pages were stuck together. Forcing myself to use them would have ruined my notes. Sometimes a fresh start is just better. Sticking to a rule like that makes no sense when life gets messy. What if you need a new section for a different idea halfway through?

Basil floating isn't the end of the world.

My buddy tried something similar last winter with a giant stew. He just kept adding extra cans of beans and tomatoes whenever more people showed up. It worked great and we had leftovers for days.

Used to think that was impossible but mine works great.
