Wasn't sure where to put this - do you use a bullet journal?
What are your favorite notebooks/pens?
Does it help keep you organized or just adds another chore to the day?

I've been reading lots of blogs about them and think it might help me as a busy mom.

The only thing is - I have a really weird obsession with keeping pretty new notebooks "perfect" and always end up ripping out pages with messy/incoherent writing before giving up altogether. So I've never been successful keeping any kind of diary or planner.
