1. Uniball JetStream (0.7mm) 3 colors (Black, Blue, Red) - Most versatile pen. Uni Super Ink is permanent and the ink flows well anywhere. Plus its a ballpoint so it will write on just about anything and anywhere and highlights well.
2. Uniball Signo 307 (0.5mm) 3 colors (Black, Blue, Red) - A great Gel pen. Very smooth, also permanent ink. Great for everyday writing.
3. Pentel EnerGel (0.7mm) All colors - Super smooth, great for work, best colors, and great for highlighting.
4. Pilot Frixion (0.5mm) in black and blue for erasable notes.
5. After this I would get some more colors and a couple of other pens I like like the Pilot Precise or the Vision pens as the need or want arises.

1. A Hobonichi Planner A6 - I use my planner so much everyday I would need this. If most were sold out I would try an April start or sometimes you can get the second half of an Avec online later in the year. If I really couldn't get one, I would get a Stalogy A6 and then date it myself
2. A spiral notebook from Rhodia or Maurman Mnemosyne - I like spiral notebooks for work notes and I like the paper in these two brands, I would want something I could tear out easily and use for work notes.
3. A Leuchtturm1917 A5 Notebook - Very versatile notebook, good paper, and a great size. Good for working things out or doing planning or project breakdowns—could be a journal in a pinch.
4. A Midori MD A5 Notebook - Great paper, very versatile, and a good size. My favorite journal paper.

1. Hobonichi Memo Pads (Weeks Size) - Great for quick notes, lists, and reminders. Fits perfectly in a planner or notebook.
2. Post it notes
3. Tombow Mono Correction Tape - The best correction tape I have ever used. It goes on smoothly and covers well.
4. Acrylic Ruler - I use this all the time for underlining, drawing lines, and measuring things. A good clear one is best.
5. Tombow Mono Eraser - The best eraser I have ever used. It erases cleanly and doesn't smudge or tear paper.
6. Midori Clear Cover for Notebooks - Protects notebooks and gives them a nice finish.
7. JetPens Kanso Blotting Paper - Useful for fountain pen users to prevent smudging and keep hands clean.

1. I only rank pens that I like. Even a pen ranked last in a category is still good and I will use it, it just ranks below other pens in that category. Pens I have tried but do NOT like at all are listed (not ranked) separately
