While there’s nothing wrong with an everyday ballpoint, if you’re looking for a way to upgrade your daily routines, getting a new pen is a simple, affordable fix. As an admitted “big everyday to-do-list person,” actress Abbi Jacobson goes through phases with different favorite pens. But for the last several years, she’s been hooked on this 0.3-mm. pen that “feels more intentional because of the way that it’s shaped,” she told us. “It just has such a nice line.” It’s also a favorite of writer Alexander Chee, who uses it to sign books. And right now, you can get a six-pack for only nine bucks, which works out to just $1.50 per pen.
