Checking in with that fanciest of Hobonichi planners
I feel an urge to check in with what’s working and what’s proved challenging to use in my Hobonichi Day-Free planner when the calendar turns to July. July is halfway through the year and so a window into how half my year has gone. With plenty of time left to re-leverage my Hobonichi Day-Free to better serve my day-to-day adventures.
Full fills and aesthetically compelling nib designs
Visual interest keeps my attention. I need consistent attention if I’m to design a brand new full year course for September. I’ll need nibs that draw me into uncapping my pens for bouts of curricular sketching.
From sample to bottle, a Celadon Cat story
The allure of beautiful ink bottles and box art is powerful. But the freedom to try ink with only a minimal commitment? That’s fun. It’s also why I now own a bottle of Diamine’s Celadon Cat.
Piston-happy and chugging along
I turn to large capacity pens when my work load grows extensive. A deep well of ink in-hand is comforting, especially as my mental energy dwindles amongst balancing multiple simultaneous tasks. A comfort arising from shifting the immediacy of tracking ink levels to next week. Thou shall not run out of ink whilst feeling strapped for time.
