I think better when I write by hand. It is relaxing, therapeutic, and the extra time required to write the actual words allows me to think clearer. But, writing by hand can be a pain in the ass if you use any old piece of paper and any pen.
Since I spend anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours a day writing with pen and paper I have invested some serious time in finding the best pens and paper.
I’ve scoured the internet for pen and paper blogs, read reviews and purchased countless numbers of journals and pens. Two affordable Japenese items stand above the rest.
The Uniball Jetstream 0.7 MM Rubber Bodied Pen (buy replacement ink when you purchase the pens)
The Maruman Mnemosyne Special Memo Notepad
Apparently, Japenese pens and paper are better because of the more intricate writing style. This could be bullshit, but these are both inexpensive Japenese products that blow away anything even three times as expensive that you’d find in the U.S.
Give them a try. Your welcome.
