I've had some time to upgrade my #analog #productivity setup since coming home from a month in the hospital/in-patient rehab. I really like both the #rhodia top-stapled notepad and the #mnemosyne notebook. The paper on both the notepad and the notebook are silky smooth, with my only gripe being that both have very faint lines by design which is not great for my eyes. The good news is that my living quarters are dim, and visibility should only improve as light levels increase.
I've decided after trying Pilot and Zebra gel pens that gel pens aren't for me. Too much glide is something I don't with my shaky-ass handwriting. I have ordered a ballpoint pen with a thicker barrel, and see if that looks and feels any better.
I am quite pleased with the leather A5 cover I ordered from AliExpress. Feels good and is well designed.
