On: Bullet Journaling (2016)

[mynegation]

I have been doing journaling long before Bullet Journaling was a thing. Started with Moleskine and now I use Leuchtturm1917 that was mentioned in the article. Cycled through many pens, but liked only two: Uni-ball Onyx and Pilot V5 Hi-tecpoint (that I currently use), both in 0.5mm thickness.

I still do a lot of PIM stuff on the computer and iPhone: Google Calendar, Informant got TODOs, lists in Paperless app, because portability of a phone and other niceties like calendar reminders are hard to beat. I use journal mainly for more free-form things and brainstorming that involves drawing doodles, mind maps, and also some reflection.

I like the Signo 0.5 mm pens; its ink dries quickly enough for left-handed use.

My only annoyance is that when they are near-empty, the lines get spotty and inconsistent instead of turning brighter/weaker.
