My habit tracker fell apart after 2 weeks

I was about 14 days into tracking my water intake and reading habit when the pen I used bled right through 3 pages. Had to rip out that whole section and start over in a new notebook I got from Michaels. Now I'm not sure if I should use a finer pen or switch to a different paper brand. Anyone else deal with bleeding ink ruining their spreads?

Did you try a Pilot G2 07? Those never bled through my notebook pages.

Isn't it always the pen that betrays you right when you're finally feeling good about a habit? Mine did the exact same thing - I was so proud of my 12-day streak, then look down and there's a ghostly blue shadow of the page before bleeding through. I'd say it's the paper, not the pen, because that Michaels stuff is honestly just okay for planners. Try a Leuchtturm or even a basic Moleskine, those handled my gel pens like a dream. But hey, at least you got a fresh start, right? Silver lining and all that.
