Stationery🍕

I have never really used any Mont Blanc products, because most of them are stupid expensive.

I’ve been trying hard to get back into using pocket notebooks over the last couple of months.

I have both digital and analog journals in active use.

Cartridges isn’t something.I have used a lot with my fountain pens.

I have a common place journal that I keep in my large Travelers Notebook.

I’ve done the Theme System for a while now, both with and without their notebooks, and to a varying degree of within their system.

A while back I bought one of those paper knife thingies that look like a pizza wheel that perforates pages.

I’ve used the Midori five year journal for a year now.

These are most likely the pages in my journal setup that change the most.

I ended up with three Hobonichi notebooks for 2024 A5 Cousin Avec A5 Notebook A5 5 Year This is about the first two The notebook I use this to track focus and goals, long term, short; plus weekly and monthly.

When I saw the layout of this, I just went a head and ordered one of them.

I’ve had this in use a few days at this point, and I really like it this far.

Some history here.

As everyone should know at this point: my preferred way of filling anything is syringes, because of how easy it is to fill anything all the way with them.

A super short review of the A5 Hobonichi Cousin I used as my planner last year.

I’ve mostly used the two panopads I bought in December by now, and I’ve liked them a lot.

When I first planned to write this blog post I had emptied the first bottle a few days before, by the time I got around to writing it, I emptied a second one.

After months of looking at pen trays I finally ordered one.

I’ve been trying to avoid this for a while now: notebooks you put below your keyboard.

This is one of the multi pens I decided to get after starting to play around with the one I got with my 2024 Hobonichi order.

When I got the same rollerball multi pen with my Hobonichi order this year that I always get, and for some dumb reason didn’t throw it out with the rest of the packaging, and started to write with it.

I’ve been down this road of considering this for a really long time at this point.

Good desk accessories to hold the pen you’re currently using is a on going issue for me.

These clips are really cool.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I use a sling.

Not many minutes after I got my purple alu Kaweco Sports I knew I’d end up with the brass one fairly soon.

Sometimes I’m this place where I’m bringing like 10 pens with me to work every single day.

The moment I started to mess around with the multi pen that came with my 2024 Hobonichi was the moment that I knew this would become my next rabbit hole.

When I was ordering my Hobonichi I bought two of these rubber bands they had in the accessories section.

For everyone who orders their Hobonichi planners from the 1101.com store are familiar with the multi pen you get with your order.

For the longest time I had to order everything pen and paper related that I liked from foreign sites.

I got another stand from IKEA, this time it is the Vivalla.

Right after posting the previous post on this I started to mess around with it some more to see where it is useful.

In this ongoing process of me buying random phone stands at IKEA, I’ve gotten to a weird, old, one.

I’ve been on and off index cards for years.

I just got a plain Hobonichi A5 notebook for the first time.

I finally got to ordering next years stuff from 1101 / Hobonichi last week.

I’ve been looking at pen trays for a really long time, because I can never make up my mind about what to get.

The Kaweco line of fountain pens have always been like this black hole in my collection.

There are a few things about planners that makes zero sense to me, that I just have accepted.

I guess I’m not alone about having spent stupid amounts of time looking at their Analog system.

After the Dingbats notebooks didn’t work out that well for me I decided to get some top ring bound dot pads from Rhodia.

This is a weird thing I do.

Funny story.

I guess all of us have flipped over a bottle of ink and emptied it over our desk or counter or whatever.

When I started my recent stunt of just emptying all my pens it lasted until I emptied the last EF pen and after 2-3 days I inked up my Pilot Custom 823 again.

For the most part I’m not someone who cares too much about matching pens with inks.

Every now and there is some drama going on because some company increase prices and or reduce the amount of ink in their bottles.

I’ve been a fan of small bags for a really long time.
