When I wrote my post about upgrading your notebook for work, I heard from some of you that you needed some advice on pens. So rather than go on and on about which ones I like and why (and provide a lot of advice on fountain pens- which many of you will never use), I’m going to share a tip for how to find better pens that work for you.
Last week was a tough one at work. Lots of fire drills. Lots of “emergency” Skype calls. Two 5am Zoom calls (yeah, I wasn’t looking so hot at those!) We’ve all been there; you just grit your teeth and get through it. But you know what made it so much better? Looking forward to using some really nice pens every day. Fire drills, it turns out, are a lot easier with a Pilot Multiball!
But just because I like the multi ball doesn’t mean you will. And this is where my tip comes in. Get yourself over to Jetpens and peruse their sampler packs. They have over 100 (yes 100!) different sampler packs of pens, pencils, highlighters. And they are priced very well- you’ll get anywhere from 5-8 pens/pencils to try for $22-$28. It’s an easy way to try out a number of options, decide what you like, and reorder more of your favorites. I’ve been thinking of picking up the lefty pack for my south paw sister Kate when it’s back in stock…
Why not just shop at Amazon??
And yes, Amazon will have many of the pens featured. But Jetpens has amazing prices (better than Amazon in most cases) and they let you buy a single pen. You’ll be stuck buying packs at Amazon- maybe as many as 10 choices. It’s much more fun to receive a little envelope from Jetpens with 12 different pens!
Plus Jetpens is a California company that ships quickly, with a low $35 minimum for free shipping. While you are there, you can check out Washington tape, notebooks, and tons of ink.
OK, that’s my tip for the day! Get a nice pen to match that killer notebook I am sure you now use every day at work 🙂
