Found an old survey that said most bullet journal users keep their first notebook for under 6 months

I was looking at some old posts on a stationery blog and they linked to a survey from a few years back. It said over 60% of people who start a bullet journal don't finish their first notebook. I guess I always thought everyone stuck with it longer. Makes me wonder if the pressure to make it perfect is part of the problem. Has your first notebook lasted longer than that?

Most bullet journal users" feels like a weird thing to get hung up on.

Nah come on man, @derek_schmidt6 already laughed at how weird this is and I'm with him. Why does it bug you that people find it strange? If someone's tracking every single thing they do in a journal, thats a bit much even for a productivity nerd like me. I get that bullet journaling helps some people stay organized but the whole "most users" thing sounds like youre trying to defend a hobby that doesnt need defending. If I was tracking my bathroom breaks in a notebook and my buddy called it out id just say "yeah its kinda dumb but it works for me" instead of getting defensive. So whats the real hang up here?
