Ink Thoughts: Montblanc Dragon Red
I’m fond of Montblanc inks - they often hit the sweet spot for me with the combination of great ink quality, shading and saturated colors, beautiful packaging, and story. I compare two rare Montblanc inks - the new Dragon Red, and the older, beloved Shakespeare Velvet Red.

The YosekaLab Planner, Part 2: Vertical Quadrant (Divided)
Earlier this month in the Method and Mayhem series, I wrote about my experiments with the YosekaLab planner’s Gantt layout. Today I am exploring the Vertical Quadrant (divided) on p. 26 of the planner as a tool to track my many, many projects.

Method and Mayhem: the YosekaLab Planner
What I especially love about the YosekaLab planner is the structural permission to experiment. Of course, any planner can be experimented with, but I think I’m not the only one who is often intimidated (and confused) by fancy readymade setups. In contrast, Yosekalab has many different layouts in a small, simple, yet perfectly designed package, with the idea to try out different layouts. Not every layout will work for everyone! Great! It’s built-in!
