Gold Thinking Kit (Pilot 823M, Black Ink 70mL, A5 Notebook & Vinyl Cover, Surprise 5mL Ink, Prompts)

The gold nib pen that makes thinking feel effortless

The Gold Thinking Kit is built around a gold nib fountain pen that feels more responsive, making it effortless to slow down and think clearly.

If the standard kit gets you writing, the gold kit makes you want to keep writing, turning a daily habit into something you genuinely look forward to.

Why this works:

This isn’t a productivity system. It’s a thinking practice.

• A pen that slows you down just enough
• Paper that makes writing feel smooth
• Prompts that remove the pressure of “what do I write?”

With a repeatable starting point, the habit sticks.

What’s included:

• Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pen Black Medium with 14K gold nib (includes filling instructions)
• Pilot Black Ink 70mL (with ink miser guide)
• Midori MD Notebook A5 Lined (smooth paper, opens flat to welcome your words)
• Midori MD Notebook Vinyl Cover A5 (protects)
• Surprise ink sample (open on Day 7)
• Daily prompts (to help you begin, every time)
• Gold Nib Check Guarantee

How it works:

1. Open to a fresh page
2. Use a prompt (or start anywhere)
3. Undo the pen safety valve
4. Write for a few minutes
5. Close the notebook and move on

No writing or fountain pen experience needed.

Who this is for:

• You’re overthinking choices and lacking confidence
• You’re not sure what you’re working towards
• You’ve tried journaling, but couldn’t stick with it
• You want to think more clearly, not just faster
• You want the best setup for success

What you’ll notice in your first week:

• The effortless feel of a gold nib pen
• Your thoughts feel lighter
• You feel more confident in decisions
• Writing stops feeling like a chore and instead feels like a daily treat

A small reward:

On Day 7, open your surprise ink sample. Enjoy the mood created by a non-black ink. This is when moving thoughts onto paper turns into a new era of exploration.

FAQ:

• What if I don’t know what to write? Use the prompts. They’re designed to get you started quickly.
• Do I need to write every day? Most days is enough. This is about rhythm, not perfection.
• Why a fountain pen? It slows your thinking just enough to make it clearer.
• Why a gold nib? A gold nib pen offers a smoother, more responsive writing experience, making every stroke feel effortless, and more intentional.
• Can beginners use this pen? Yes, we chose this pen because it’s our favourite gold nib. 
• Why can’t I do this on my phone? You don’t need another App. You think better on paper and switching to analog also blocks content overload. 

What’s really happening here?

Most people consume a lot of content, but don’t process their own thoughts: 

• They think everything through in their head
• They never externalise their ideas
• They wait for clarity, instead of creating it

This kit changes that through a workhorse gold pen that quickly helps you build a positive loop: 
Write a little → think clearer → move forward → urge to write more
