A friend is a gift you give yourself.

I’ve been using Moleskin notebooks for years. I write a lot of stuff in them. Notes, thoughts, plans, lists. I’ve been searching for the right writing utensil to use with it. I’ve been using Pilot G2 pens. They write nice and have archival ink, although they smudge a little.

Then today I found a package of G2 Mini pens. Which seem like a good fit with my Moleskin.

The regular G2 and the G2 mini together on my Moleskin.

The G2 mini is about the same width as my Moleskin. Which should make it easy to carry with me.

I can use the ribbon bookmark and the elastic band to hold the pen to the top of the notebook.

Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by.

The landscape on my desk has changed. So much easier to work now I don’t have to roam to three or four different computers during my day. Now I can use three computers with in arms reach. I wish I could boil it down to one computer, but for now this is much better than before. And I feel way more productive.
