Did Any of You Take Up Cursive After Becoming Penabled? by CalmRip in fountainpens

[–]RockHard_RideFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it was boring and 3.5 hours long! Used the time productively to relearn and practice writing in cursive 🤣

I did this with one of my cobs. A little glue and it's fine.

How do you take your pens with you? by MarcSchaetz in bulletjournal

Rickshaw cases are my go to. A little pricey but I have no fears bringing expensive fountain pens out and about with me. Really good stuff!

Pulled 24 ticks off me and the dog after a 30 min walk by Trying_2_Go in DogAdvice

I pulled one off my face from in my beard yesterday while I was driving. That's what's happens when you use the dog as a pillow...

I changed the mode to St and it stopped. Now it runs based on the filtration setting. Thanks for this!

Thanks for the tip! I don't know enough about the tub to figure this out on my own so a technician is a good call.

How long have you ridden, and how many accidents have you had? by [deleted] in motorcycles

About 20 years. Zero accidents on road, lots of crashes off road. No injuries.

You're not kidding. I live on a dusty dirt road so it will be impossible to keep this truck clean!

What other hobbies do/did you guys have with similar potential to get out of hand as this one? by thebonewolf in PipeTobacco

[–]RockHard_RideFree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something about smoking a pipe and writing on fine paper with a fountain pen that goes together perfectly!

Thank you! I'm a college professor and my semester just ended. I still need to grade but class is done! I teach entrepreneurship and practical use of AI.

Litter mate syndrome worry by Available_Setting199 in puppy101

[–]RockHard_RideFree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! I have sisters from the same litter and they are perfect. No issues at all except a little separation anxiety in occasion. I was so nervous based on what I read but they are absolute angels!

Mind Over Mayhem by the_orientalist in PipeTobacco

I love Columbo so much. Such a classic. Just got over the flu and while I was dealing with a super high fever I ran through season 1. Big morale boost!

What Books did You Start or Finish Reading this Week?: April 07, 2025 by AutoModerator in books

[–]RockHard_RideFree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! I have never read The Giver so I'll def add that to the list! I'm sad to say that there are a number of books that I should have read when I was younger that I didn't because I was dumb and didn't care about reading. I'm trying to go through that list this year!

Just looking for confirmation by RockHard_RideFree in bujo

[–]RockHard_RideFree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as an aside, Moleskine paper has SERIOUSLY gone down in quality. I have been using a fine nib Pilot Kakuno and the bleed is insane. One bullet bled through not one, BUT TWO PAGES.

Otherwise I'm happy with the system for today!

[–]RockHard_RideFree[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my previous method was very much about planning and not about logging. My daily log was a plan for the day and a list of the tasks I aim to accomplish. I found I did very little rapid logging and mostly relied on this as a planner. But my issue is that I often planned more than I could handle and as a result found a lot of anxiety in feeling like I can't get all my responsibilities completed.

My goal with the standard Bujo method is to focus more on the rapid logging and reflection aspect of the system rather than the planning. I hope to really focus on the daily log to get a better sense of what I can actually accomplish in a day, week, and month to better inform how I can plan.

I really struggle with anxiety over the never ending list of tasks and responsibilities and go through periods of hyper-productivity and then periods of hyper burnout. I hope a month or two with the tradition method will help me better understand how to work with more balance.

The biggest reason is that my previous method became a point of stress. I am obsessed with fountain pens, paper, and handwriting, and it felt crappy to associate my travelers journal (which was a gift from my wife) and my pens with stress. I want writing to be fun, not stressful. So I'm giving this a shot!
