Because I’m currently looking into smaller notebooks, I started to look at the non A5 Plotter sizes, and some of them are really weird.

That’s what she said.

My current carry is mostly the same as before.

The Kaweco Sport line of pens is a recent favorite less expensive brand for me.

One alternative to this would have been to use the A6 Planner plus their Weekly insert.

As it doesn’t seem very likely that I get to where I buy any binder related things for the rest of this year, I’ve been looking into things for next year.

The dot pads I use so many of comes in two variations.

I recently bought a A5 Clipboard from Penco.

I’ve recently gotten really into the heavier metal Kawco Pens.

I got this pen a while back after looking for another pen like my Kaweco Sport Brass.

I bought this brass clip from Travelers Company.

I’ve bought a bunch of the Hobonichi pencil boards to test out as a way to add some stiffness to various notebooks when I write in them on the couch etc.

I pulled out a notebook to draft a few blog posts, how I used to do.

People will probably lose their shit reading this title.

I bought another heavy brass ruler.

When I buy my yearly Hobonichi planner, I try to always remember to check out some of their other stuff and get some interesting stuff.

I have this dumb habit of changing things up and stopping using notebooks kind of in the middle of them.

There are currently two binders that are left on my list, after a really long process: Plotter and William Hannah.

The short term plan is to continue using my current Hobonichi setup until the end of the year.

On to all of the things I looked into using but decided to not go forward with, and why.

My setup would most likely be very simple.

When something don’t work out at all the first time I try, and I still can’t let the idea go, I usually go very far in the let’s get it right when I try again; usually the second time or at least the third time.

I have looked around in a bunch of different weird corners of the internet over the last few weeks and I have a bunch of links that I am considering.

As I’ve been thinking a lot about using different notebooks for a year, I have tried a bunch of things, and it have been a process that haven’t really progressed to anywhere useful for me, except that I haven’t let the idea go.

There are a few reasons I have not gone deeper into this yet.

I think this topic has moved past binders from the start, mostly because what I really want ins’t really limited to a regular binder by definition, and there are a bunch of options I am considering that isn’t really a binder.

It never stops to fascinate me how huge the difference it is in how long I can use the same pen with a finer nib versus a broader nib.

I have always had a notebook on my desk for capturing things for as long as I can remember.

One of the reasons I’m always into pen trays and holders and such is that I hate it when pens roll off my desk.

I often say that I think on paper, and then store it in digital.

I’ve been slowly looking into binders and disc bound systems since I dipped my toes in it last summer.

Usually when I get new inks and they are available in multiple colors I go with a small bottle.

I recently bought this, outside of the VAC700R I got last year, this is the first TWSBI pen that isn’t an Eco I’ve bought in a very long time.

My daily carry changes very little at this point.

My “desk setup” is what I call the pen & paper stuff I always have on my desk.

I’ve been getting more into the Lamy Safari recently.

I used to love this pen.

Not long after I had written and sent the post about the cap snapping in two, I started to notice I got more ink on my fingers than usual.

This is the most recent one and what started this series.

Seems like a lot have happened to this one over the time I’v had it.

I think this was the first time I broke an expensive pen.

I decided to do a short blog post series about all the pens I have dropped about broken over the years, at least the one I can remember.

The way I do my own theme system is like this.

I always have these phases with my pens.

There is a weird feeling I get when I get near the end of a yearly planner.

This is the system I have been on for a while now.

My first attempt at this was to do it on paper, a long time ago actually, this summer.

The official journals worked well, for the most part during the time I used it.

For the year or so I used the Theme System Journals this is how I used them as I reached the end of the final one.
