My rapid logging got sloppy after I switched to a skinny pen
I switched to a 0.3mm gel pen last month because I liked how neat it looked, but my daily logs turned into a cramped mess where I could barely read my own notes two days later. Turns out the thin line made me write faster and smaller, and I lost the whole point of rapid logging, which is quick capture without losing clarity. Anyone else find that their pen weight or tip size messes with their logging habits, or do you stick with one pen no matter what?

Funny how the tool you pick quietly changes how you use it, right? Same thing happens with kitchen knives, a sharp chef's knife makes you slice fast and thin, then your onion chunks are all over the place. Or typing on a laptop vs a phone, the keyboard size totally changes your sentence length without you noticing. Your pen was basically making a decision for your hand before your brain got a vote. Maybe the lesson is to pick gear that matches the speed you actually write, not the speed you wish you wrote.
