There are many methods pertaining to writing for your mental health, such as capturing your free-flowing thoughts, reflecting on the day, or expressing your creativity.

With the stylish and dependable bLen Gel Retractable, you’ll reach for this vibration-free pen to quickly write out your daily tasks and to-do lists that can help declutter your physical and mental space. It’s also great for the method of “morning pages” made popular by the book, The Artist’s Way:
- Upon waking up, grab three sheets of paper
- Sit down and write out your stream of consciousness, whatever comes to mind
- Keep these pages for your eyes only and repeat the process every morning for better mental clarity
If you like to write daily journals, you can use the dual pack of the sleek F-301 Retractable Ballpoint and the fan favorite MILDLINER Dual-Tip Creative Highlighters to write out any thoughts and go back to highlight things you learned about a situation or even yourself through the writing process.

Color-Coding To Do Lists, Trackers, and Coloring
Color-coding your daily tasks can be a surefire way to ensure that you are focusing on the most important to least important tasks. The colors you use are also important because they can help trigger your memory on what to accomplish next.
