Beautiful pen! Sorry to hear it didn’t work for you.
#4 then #3
Congratulations! Beautiful set.
I don’t but now you got me thinking :-D
What pen is it? Many converters can be taken apart. I’ve tried and succeeded with Waterman, Schmidt standard international, Esterbrooks (which also seems to be a version of standard international converter) and Platinum.
At the beginning of every workday I write a to-do list on paper with pen and cross the items out as soon as I’m done with them. I also take notes on paper when I read and review papers, it helps me retain the information better. My phone and my computer screen are often the main source of distraction for me and my notebook helps me keep the focus on the task.
