My bullet journal collection tracker just hit 100 different pens.

I started a simple list in the back of my 2023 journal just to keep track of what I had, and I added the last one this morning. It made me realize I have a real thing for blue-black inks. Do you track your supplies, and what's your most common color?

Just counted my own pens and wow, it's a lot of sad black cartridges from when I thought I was being practical. My tracking system is basically a drawer that won't close. Blue-black is a great choice, way more fun.

Those black cartridges are basically pen purgatory. Maybe try a single fancy pen that only takes blue-black, forces the fun.

Actually, blue-black is my go-to for looking professional!

My 2022 bullet journal had a whole spread dedicated to my black ink collection and it got embarrassingly out of hand before I realized I only actually liked three of them. What finally worked for me was pulling every single pen out of my desk and making a physical pile of the ones I never reached for. I tossed all the sad leftover black cartridges that came with random pens, kept maybe five blacks total, and let myself go wild with blues and greens instead. Now I keep a one page list in the front of my journal with just the colors I actually use, not the whole collection. Blue-black ended up taking up like half that list for me too, so I feel you on that.
