For me, stickers should only have a functional use... for example, to highlight some tasks that must get done or appointments

I like stickers for appt reminders, etc
As for decorating, I am a 4 out of 10. I do think there is a place and time for stickers. I find it relaxing updating my planner. I don’t understand when the stickers take over the entire page and there is no room to write anything down!!! 🤷🏻‍♀️
