Tried one page a day for 5 weeks, expected a mess, got the opposite

I kept seeing people say daily logs only work if you plan them the night before, so I did the opposite and started each page the morning of, with no layout beyond the date and a line down the middle. For 5 weeks in my Leuchtturm I logged left side tasks, right side whatever I actually did, and around week 3 I noticed the right side had almost no blank space while my old weekly spreads were half empty. Turns out I was over-planning and under-recording, so the messy two column thing showed me where my time really went. I am still doing it, but I want to know if anyone else here has dropped weeklies completely and just run dailies with no prep.
