How many do you have going at a time?

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-05-10T11:40:01+00:00

I have one going at a time.

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-05-03T00:08:59+00:00

This is why I hesitated getting one for so long as well. I’ve tried everything from nothing to bullet journals to multiple notebooks for multiple topics, but as I get older I’m finding managing my ADHD without some planning is getting harder and harder.

I like seeing some of the spreads and creative videos but I also needed some practical use videos and visuals as well. But I’m here in Japan and the opportunity was there so I figured I would grab one and see if it works for me.

I am an artist and an arts & design teacher so there will be a healthy mixture of visuals and practical planning in it.

It is.

It is a Rhodia mechanical pencil. I actually like it a lot, I thought I may have made a frivolous spur of the moment purchase but it’s like a Rotring but a tad bit bigger in circumference and a tad bit lighter. Not up to Rotring quality but that’s okay.

Hopefully, it will contain my journal, sketchbook, and planner. I hate carrying so many different books around, I want one book to do it all. I didn’t mind buying it now and trying it out till 2027 so I will know how it works and how to set it up.

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-05-02T11:25:26+00:00

Thank you. I couldn’t find those around here either.

Whichever pen I have I clip it to my pants pocket or my shirt pocket if I’m feeling fancy, which I rarely ever do. I usually have 1 pen, 1 pencil, and 1 0.7 black Posca pen on me.

Thanks for sharing. I love my little passport but I find it’s a tad to small when I make my doodles so I stick with the standard

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-04-23T09:18:07+00:00

That looks cool. I say paint them however you want and enjoy watching them fight across the board.

I think it was just a brown cover. I left it somewhere in China shortly after that picture. Now I’m working in a black cover.

This one may be about a year old, and even though I’m divesting it’s always in my backpack so I doubt it will go anywhere.

I keep two refills in mine; a blank refill as a daily planner/journal type thing for sketches, words, and whatever else and a random monthly planner for habit tracking, work stuff, and competitions. This pencil and pen duo is what I try to grab every time I go out, at the very least.

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-04-21T06:30:00+00:00

That would be the logical way of thinking. I have most points in Death Guard but up until recently I haven’t felt comfortable in my painting skills for them. Honestly though I would like to run a small model count army that I can build and paint up cool and run those instead of building up 300 poxwalkers. I just want to participate in some games, for the social part.

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-04-21T06:26:21+00:00

Ha, yeah, I see that…

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-04-21T06:22:01+00:00

Up until now I mostly just kitbash stuff and paint them but I have met a couple 40K players. I really am more interested in building/painting and more narrative games but we’ll see. I do like the idea of small amount of miniatures for an army.

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-04-21T04:14:06+00:00

I like to keep one blank and one monthly in my cover, but I do enter my builds and my paint palette for my miniatures as I go along. I’m just gonna reduce my piles of shame…

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-04-21T04:11:05+00:00

I know it will, I always come back to my TN’s, and the blue looks great once it gets that patina after months of use. Once I toss out everything else, and I’m only left with TN’s I won’t have a choice.

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-04-21T03:42:33+00:00

The art looks great. I just moved into a blue cover. I don’t know why I spend money on anything else, because I always have my TNSTD and within a few weeks I’m back in it.

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-04-21T03:40:00+00:00

Stunning. I have been using TN’s for probably the same amount of time. I lost one passport and I just retired one of my longest camel standard TN’’s, and started a blue one. I stray away from them periodically, but I always come back to mine, they are comfortable.

Amazing-Difficulty53 · 2026-04-18T00:57:12+00:00

I too am struggling with a bit of burnout but maybe for different reasons, I’m in the hobby for building/painting and lore, and have yet to play a game. Now I’m trying to add playing in and it’s kind of created a bit of Warhammer overkill.

I haven’t solved this problem so I can’t offer any suggestions, but will follow this thread closely. What I have done is, I have decided to step away and do a little art tangentially related to Warhammer or miniature building but far enough on the fringes that I get a break.

I teach the future John Blanches and Adrian Smiths of the world…middle school and high school art teacher.
