I like the idea of dingbats but haven’t ordered one yet. How do they compare to a Leuchturm1917 or a Moleskine?

Bulletjournal.com has some good resources, the booklet in the journal itself can help and I recommend getting the book.
Try the system first before making it fancy. For me, it is about the effect, not the stickers and art.

Got myself a Lammy Safari to give fountain pens another go. First impression is that is smooth and light but skips a bit. Perhaps this will change.
Also found an old Parker Jotter (made in the UK) and got myself a new cartridge, writes better than expected and quite liking that so far.

I like to keep the journal minimal. Just text and minimal scribblings. I prefer black ink and it would be great if they can be refilled. I would like a smooth writing experience (the PN scratches to much).
I am also open to mechanical pencils or fountain pens that are finer than the Parker IM.

Short update; currently on cast on number four. For some reason, people keep distracting me when I am knitting, causing me to miss a stitch and ending with the wrong stitch at the end of the needle.
How do you deal with distractions? Blocking the world out with noise cancelling head phones?

Just a runners knee it seems. Walking is a bit hard at the moment :)
Any suggestions on how to get over that would be most welcome.
And thank you for the kind words!

To be fair, I was being a bit cheap as well. The "local" store had metal ones, which were a bit expensive, and these. Again, knowing myself, I will probably end up with a semi store inventory in a bit.

That is a very generous offer. Mind you, I am not based in the USA though.
I tried sending you a PM, but it says you can't be messaged.

Thanks for the suggestion. Currently I am struggling with everything so might as well just get it over with :)

Yes it is but knowing myself, I either mess up the first one, or like it enough to knit a second one or a matching scarf

The Fellow Prismo or the Aeropress official alternative might rekindle your relationship.

Well, this week, I cleaned the pen and put in a new cartridge, and it worked fine. It worked as expected.
However, I haven't used the pen in two days, and it is again clogged. I can't write with it, and I need to clean it again before I can use it. I guess the Parker IM and I just aren't matching.

Ziet er goed uit maar ben zelf meer van het "praktische". Ik heb een aantal pogingen gedaan om een bullet journal te starten maar het lijkt niet echt te willen blijven hangen.
Ik ben dan ook wel benieuwd naar hoe anderen dit gebruiken. Wat schrijf je erin? Wat haal je eruit? Nog andere tools erbij?

I could have sworn I woke up this morning. But who knows, perhaps I am just dreaming somewhere else.

A moka is high on my list. Good to see you are enjoying it. What did you drink before?

You can try the inverted method, just make sure that you properly hold your press when you flip it, or you will have a bad day.
The other option is getting a Fellow Prismo (or the Aeropress alternative).
And try out the Aeromatic app, it has some good recipes to get your started.
Enjoy!
