This is really dumb.

So if you use regular paper clips to stick pages together, you’re probably used to them being slightly bent out of shape after using them a few times.

Then I try to make them last longer or using them while they’re not really that useful anymore.

Why am I doing this?

They are cheap as fuck. And there is still like 2/3 of them in the box of 100 I bought six months ago

I don’t need to but it is convenient.

My pens can be put into three categories.

• The Kaweco Sports: very useful to put in pen holders on notebooks.
• Pens with broader nibs. Great for drawing likes and scribbling out stuff.
• Pens with finer nibs. My current preference for general writing

Having this many pens in rotation makes it easy to just rotating out pens that are dry and in new ones from my desk and being able to clean and re-ink pens as I have time.
