I don’t know about anyone else, but even though we are completely in the digital age, there’s just something about putting pen to paper that helps to clarify my goals and priorities. Whether it’s writing in my journal, scribbling down my daily to-do lists, scheduling meetings and due dates or scribing my treatments plans at work, there is something about the analog nature of writing things down with a real pen on paper that helps me to properly set my intentions and achieve my goals.

Writing things down forces our ideas to become real.

“When we write things down, we enter a world of possibility”

As an Orthodontist, blogger, philanthropist and side hustle extraordinaire, my life takes a certain level of organization and my writing utensil is a big part of that. From writing charts, treatment planning, signing documents, and creating content, I need instruments that will help to not only keep me on track but also offer reliability and efficiency. One Instrument I am very particular about is my pen.

My go-to writing utensil is the Zebra Pen STEEL F-701® ALL METAL Ballpoint Retractable Pen. Not only does it have a very stylish design but it also provides a high-quality writing experience that helps me stay organized and accomplish my goals. It’s rare that I come across high value items with great quality and style for a low cost. At under $10.00, this writing tool was made for the savvy and confident professional. This pen transitions well with my professional and personal style. Check out more information here to see how you can Choose Different.

HERE ARE A FEW OTHER REASONS TO LOVE THE ZEBRA STEEL F-701:

As an Orthodontist, I utilize pens to complete clinical charting and treatment planning for my patients. My notes require a premium quality pen, like the STEEL F-701, that does not smudge, has a convenient push clip, and that has a great grip. As a blogger, it is just as important in helping me to plan my blog and social media content.

This pen is housed in a silver stainless steel frame that I can easily clean and sterilize between uses. It is knurled, with a no-slip grip for ease of handle and it offers a smooth, even ink delivery from any portion of the ball tip. It is lightweight, durable, and easily clips to my white coat pocket. Best of all it contains an all-metal refill which is usually seen in pens with a hefty price tag. Its fast-drying ink prevents smudging on glossy prints and is great for writing on patient photographs and radiographs.

Blogging coupled with my other entrepreneurial endeavors takes quite a bit of planning. It seems I write on paper almost as much as I type. Needless to say, I always need a pen that’s reliable…. and stylish, of course.
