I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the 'two minute rule', which has really improved my life: "if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it." I've got untreated attention issues and it's very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn't forget in the long run has been great for me.

Does anyone have a good alternative to the G2 pens? They’re great pens, but the ink is so thick and wet that it smears too easily and frequently for me. I’ve been on the hunt for something nearly as good.

I'm a fan of the Schmidt p9000 fine. It's a g2 size refill. I'm a nurse and my facility still has paper charts for certain day to day things, so I write quite a bit. Definitely recommend a try. They're around $2.50 each.

Maybe get a smaller point, like extra fine instead of fine. I think .5 is the finest point they make.

They also have a 0.38mm but the point is so sharp that it can easily tear pages. Definitely reduces the wetness factor though!
