Back on the name-brand pen and my routine got quieter

After bouncing through a bunch of off-brand options, I went back to the branded pen last Tuesday. I’m on the road most weeks—three cities this month—so logistics matter more than the label.

Weirdly, my routine got simpler. One less thing to tuck next to my laptop charger, and my appetite noise is back to its usual background hum instead of a radio station I can’t find.

Not preaching, just comparing notes. For those who travel a ton, what’s your non-negotiable item when juggling food, water, and a pen?
