Paper Planner
“Planner” Cedar Park 2025
I recently bought a monthly paper planner to explore the world of non-digital planning. Right now, I’m figuring out how it integrates with my digital planning and journaling. To start, I plan to use it for tracking upcoming vacations and noting small wins throughout the day. While researching, I found it interesting that many people use paper planners as a logbook for reflection, while digital planners focus on future events. That approach makes sense to me, so I’m curious to see how my system evolves!

Stationery Shop
“Kakuno” Costa Mesa, 2024
Today we visited the Maido stationery shop at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Costa Mesa. They had such a great selection of fountain pens and inks, but I’m proud to say I showed some restraint and didn’t buy anything – I have more than enough pens already! Still, it was fun to browse.

The Pilot Prera is my new favorite fountain pen. It feels so good!
Next Notebook
“New Morning Pages” Cedar Park, 2024
For my next notebook to fill with Morning Pages, I will use this small A6-size journal that I bought from Muji in New York City several years ago. It’s so nice to be able to use these for a nice purpose.
Morning Pages Still Going Strong
“Morning Pages” Cedar Park, 2023
I’m still enjoying writing my morning pages every day. I’m about halfway through this notebook (it’s a thick one from Daiso) and I have been using Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun “Winter Shogun” ink in my Lamy Safari broad nib fountain pen. It’s a light cool grey color and so beautiful. Highly recommended!

“Kakuno and Fuyu-Syogun” Cedar Park, 2023
Two additions to my stationery aresenal: Fuyu-Syogun ink and a Kakuno EF nib fountain pen. I’ve come to the conclusion that my Pilot Metropolitan fountain pens are my favorite and most comfortable for writing my Morning Pages, but I wanted to try out an EF (extra-fine) nib. It isn’t available on the Metropolitan body, but fortunately can be found on the Kakuno line of pens, whose nibs are interchangeable with the Metropolitans. I can’t wait to try out the EF nib… but not sure if I will swap it out onto a Metropolitan just yet…
I also bought some grey fountain pen ink, which I’ve wanted for a long time. I loaded up my broad-nib Lamy Safari with the ink and it looks fantastic! Subtle and sophisticated, but also kind of playful. I love it so much!
