Just found out my "minimalist" monthly spread needs 7 different pens to be functional
I read a blog post by Ryder Carroll yesterday (you know, the guy who created the system) where he said the whole point was to use one pen and one notebook, and I realized I've been overcomplicating this with 4 colors, washi tape, and highlighters for the past 6 months just to make it look pretty instead of actually tracking anything useful so has anyone else fallen into the trap of buying more supplies than you actually need?

Switched to one Pilot G2 and never looked back. A total game changer.

Switched to one Pilot G2 and never looked back" - thats exactly how I feel about my go-to coffee order @casey268. Its like once you find that one thing that just works, everything else feels wrong. I tried like six different pens before the G2 and now I get annoyed if someone hands me a Bic. Same with my phone, I had a bunch of cheap ones and finally got a decent one and I cant go back to the laggy stuff. Its the little stuff that sets the tone for the whole day, you know?

Gotta point out that Ryder Carroll actually recommends starting with whatever you have, not necessarily one pen and one notebook. The minimalism is about intention, not a gear list.
