The picky, choosy, sticklerish journey to find a fountain pen friendly ruler

My ruler journey spans years. Here’s what I’ve been looking for: a ruler that will not damage soft-metal nibs, has a beveled edge that favors the ruler’s downward side, and with a printed 5 mm grid.

An extremely picky, choosy, sticklerish line of thought lays ahead.

Thrice minted and extra fine

My week starts with four inked pens. That means there is a some room to customize my currently inked. I get to swap in two new pen and ink combinations. Love it.

The core organizational needs I have for an analog planner have changed considerably from my early days of analog planning. The way I plan to use my analog planner has followed suit.

So: I’m leaning in. Most of my social events and obligations are scheduled weeks out. The monthly view has become the default in my calendar app. I’m planning on monthly pages becoming next year’s planner hub.
