frixion pens are amazing

Be careful what you do with your notes, if you care about longevity. Leave a notebook in the sun and you may find it blank. Throwing it in the freezer may bring back some text, but it will bring back stuff you erased, too.

It doesn't matter for throwaway stuff, but I've lost notes on older projects due to this.

Yes, would not recommend the pens as a substitute for ones with archival-quality ink :)

It's not about archival quality, it's about being able to reference your notes a year from now.

Didn't mean to sound snarky with my comment, sorry about that! I would seriously recommend archival-quality in that case too, Micron pens are pretty affordable! You could of course go wild and create a wonderful setup that's a bit pricier, but it's very easy to do with simple pens too. Micron and legal pad should get the job done for personal notes, and beyond that probably look at scanning/digital options.

no one asked, but frixion pens on a legal pad and taking photos with a quick iOS shortcut makes it very simple to win all around.
