Same! There really are some pens that are a better quality than others!

Not anything specific like that. I get the cheap ones myself.
Though I did get some colored ones Bic brand has. I love the purple one.

The feeling of pen on paper is really unbeatable. That and like a desire to get organized is why I started Bullet Journaling tbh!

I LOVE PILOT G2s!!!

my only complaint is sometimes in the cold the ink doesn't work super well but once you get em warmed up they're like butter on paper, it's so nice ;w;

I started a bullet journal, but I never really went further than a couple pages.

ooh bullet journaling seems really cool but i think can be dangerous for me cuz i can have perfectionist tendencies
i know other people who do it though and they always look so good!!

Tbh I used it to actually start curbing my perfectionism. It took a year, but I learned to love my mistakes (as cheesy as that sounds) and I learned how to plan out and experiment for the things that were really important. It's helped me duck a lot of the anxiety i used to carry around!

i too have very perfectionist tendencies ... been trying to get into bullet journaling but also like, i don't even know where to start

i feel like hiding my lists in a book will just make me neglect the list even more?!

@dragoness129: its honestly not easy to get in the habit of using it, but part of it is making sure the BuJo is "working for you" instead of the other way around. It's gotta make your life easier/more comfortable or else like what's the point xD

Yeah, I tend to just keep all my notes on Evernote since everything I do seems to be online more than irl.

@Addy: I can link you to the discord community im in if you want?

For me BuJo was good because I'm tactile by nature, if i can flip through something, scribble, highlight, etc I'll remember stuff better. So bodily carrying the journal was a huge part of what helped me remember stuff in the first place.

The rest of it's just anarchy, man. Just make it what you think can help you, and if it doesn't turn out useful try again until it is! Or scrap the idea and use your phone! It's a tool, even though it can also be a hobby. But the primary reason should be to get something useful out of it. I get peace of mind that I don't have to hang onto every thing im thinking about, and to surround myself with the aesthetic that makes me feel good.
