You’ll be obsessed with this $11 Amazon find: the BEST colorful pens for note taking and writing!

best colorful pens for note taking

These are the BEST colorful pens for note taking, journaling, thank you note writing, day planning and … well, you get the fine point. (Pen joke! Haha!) I have written with a million different fancy pens – fountain pens, ballpoint, rollerball – and this set of retractable gel pens with an extra fine point are my new favorite.

You’ll quickly be obsessed with these colorful pens, too. They are as pretty on your desktop as they are on paper. Writing is a joy with the smooth gel ink in a variety of fun colors. These cheerful pens are perfect for thank you note writing, journaling, brightening up your to do list, and note taking.

Let’s talk about writing notes on paper rather than toting your laptop to meetings. I love Evernote and One Note for meeting notes. The notes are searchable, online, and available across all of your devices. However, having a screen in your face can be distracting – to you, and others in the meeting. If it’s an important meeting, I’ll often type up my notes into One Note. This helps me organize all of the discussion and action items so I know what to do next.

Another practice to try: schedule 30 minutes each week to write a few handwritten notes. These pens make writing fun. Thank you note writing is such a cathartic way to spend time. Think about someone you met that week, or congratulate someone, or send a birthday note. Getting a handwritten note is a joy in the mail. Send a little joy!
