I use a notebook with a pen and something roughly corresponding to the bullet journal format. Portable, power outage safe, hard to steal remotely and easy-ish to slot into the legal process if required.
- steve-howard 9y agoI'll second this. I keep a fountain pen with my notebook because fountain pens make me want to write more.
- reggiegg 9y agoThis is the way to do it. With a nice notebook and a nice pen, writing becomes a pleasure. I has the added benefit of your notes naturally becoming neater.
- jdhawk 9y agoI also love the Pigma Micron 03 pens.
- monknomo 9y agoThe pen is the toughest choice! I like the Uniball Vision Elite with the bold point in blue. I've run out today and am reduced to a US Government Skilcraft pen. A decided downgrade
- transitorykris 9y agoDefinitely! Second hardest is paper for me. I've finally settled on Muji's .7 pens and .5 grid notebooks. Very cheap, and the notebooks are thin enough that you get a frequent fresh start. I choose physical notebooks over digital because it's easier to go freeform when needed and you don't need most of what you think is important at the time.
- zimpenfish 9y agoCan recommend OHTO Horizon as a general fine ballpoint (and I have an OHTO Minimo in my card case for emergencies.)
- borncrusader 9y agoI've been meaning to get a fountain pen myself. Never did I expect to know about pens in this thread. :) The Pigma Micron looks fabulous (and not so expensive too) as well.
- open_bear 9y agoTry Pilot Metropolitan, they are nice entry-level fountain pens.
- zimpenfish 9y agoPilot Capless (Matt Black, slowly turning bronze) - best pen I own by a long way.
- patrickdavey 9y agoMy house was burgled 3 weeks ago. The most irritating thing they stole was a diary... Quite irreplaceable. I have no idea why they took it, I can only imagine looking for passwords.
- monknomo 9y agoThat sucks, diaries really are irreplaceable. For work logs, I keep mine in a locked office. I'd be pretty boned if someone broke in there no matter what!
- pwenzel 9y agoI'm a big fan of the Bullet Journal method too (http://bulletjournal.com http://bulletjournal.com). Started about 7 months ago and use it daily. I got a black Leuchtturm 1917 for work, and a white one for personal. I used to keep daily notes in a Dropbox folder, edited and searchable with Sublime Text, but the physical notebook is much better.
- monknomo 9y agoThe trick for me is page numbers and a table of contents
