Giving a star for useful card
ref. : Implementation of revision rule
I just implemented revision rule on the PoI system. It’s simple. If the card is useful, I put a mark (star) on right-top-edge of the card. If I use a card again, I give one more star. Then it is clear which card is useful even after returning all cards in the Dock. After giving a star, the used card is now safely return to the Dock.
In practice, I found that if I use red pen, I always have to take two pens, blue and red. I think the system always must be simple. So, I decide to use blue pen as usual for the star, too. The star should be small mark if I think putting 2 or more stars in future. See example below.

I agree with the need for speed and having to use two pens can be bothersome. However, I am an instructor at an International School in Tokyo. I have to write documents in black ink, grade in red or green (depending on assignments) and track attendence and grades in pencil. I keep coming back to the Zebra clip on Multi. 4 colors an a mechanical pencil, all .5mm in a single tube. Not to bulky, light wieght and fast. Your Pilot pens are great (I love the calligraphy pens in pigment) but do not be afraid to try it if necessary.

Thank you for your compliment. I live in Tokyo, and sometimes work in Nihombashi. When I have spare time, I wander through Maruzen and practice using many different pens. I have always like the zebra company. When I was a waiter in college, it was the only pen I ever used.

I used to use Zebra’s ballpoint pen with 4 colour ink (black, red, blue, green) nearly 10 years.
There is Mitubishi’s, Pilot’s, many brand. I simply surprize you point Zebra’s one. I think Zebra’s one is the best among them :)
