So we all love pens for the pieces of art they are, but they’re also tools. So, what do you write with your pens? Do you journal, do you take notes? Do you use fountain pens for everything or just certain activities?
Personally, I write a lot of snail mail letters to friends, and I also use mine to take notes. I’ve never done a journal before, but I’m thinking it may be useful in helping me unpack some things. Plus, Midori makes some very nice looking 3 and 5 year journals.
Mostly math, just because that’s the majority of my writing. I use them for everything, unless I need it not to be permanent
Quite a bit of long form private notes at work of interviews with patients. Nowadays, we’re expected to eventually get them onto electronic systems. But during the interview itself, it’s still fairly satisfying to be able to write with such speed for long periods.
Unfortunately, legibility is generally pretty poor. But the way I see it, I get to spend more time later on admiring the nice shades to figure out what I was trying to write at that time.
Mostly use them for work now. I don’t really like taking notes in my computer during meetings, as it’s quite easy to get distracted. Using a pen is a great way to actually focus on what I’m doing.
I don’t use Midori journals, but I’m currently using one of their regular notebooks, and it’s pretty good!
Everything. I usually have a couple inked and use them throughout the day to take notes, journal, write quick messages….
I’ve never used Midori journals, but I’ve heard that they’re pretty nice for pen users.
I use mine for work notes, random to-do lists, and journaling. Writing on paper helps me remember things better so I always have a pen and paper on me so I can jot things down anytime.
