You know that feeling where you want to just stop making a level because you don't have ideas or you're trying to make something on the fly? After that, you just feel tired and just stop.
Theres a way to design a level without it being tedious, and you can do it when you can't use your computer. Drawing!
Here's a blueprint for a level I can make when I get home.

When you draw your levels, you take away having to design with tilesets, and it's easier and faster. I always feel like I constantly need to fill in space in my level or constantly resize the level, so this is actually a good idea.

I used this https://reallysketch.com to do it. (I just searched "digital graph paper" and this works fine)

The industry standard is blocking, rather than drawing. With blocking, you can very quickly test your ideas without having to worry about aesthetics.
