Hi, I find points 2, 3 and 6 specially useful from the productivity and self-improvement point of view. Are these further described or explained in some kind of methodology? GTD? Bullet-Journal. If so, could you please post some sources? Thank you in advance.

I always wondered this, why is it that so many people hate the Epic launcher? is it a technical thing? is it the company? I never had any issues with games, either bough or given away for free. Not sarcasm, I'm genuinely curious.
Pilot Iroshizuku Syo-Ro - it is basically a teal. I received it as a gift sample when buying from a reputable seller (arlepo) and it looks and behaves totally average for me. i've never owned any Pilot Iroshizuku or other premium series like Pelikan Edelstein and was super hyped about it. But eventually my expectations were not met. Honestly.
... I mean, it looks good. But not 21€ good.
Could you post back when you actually have to clean/flush it? I'm particularly interested in how hard or how much time it takes to clean a piston filler.
Looks like the screw is made of poor quality metal and it corroded
Wow, your fountain pen journey has been much broader than mine. I've been in the hobby for almost 9 years and out of all of those I only owned a Lammy 2000 and an TWSBI Eco. But I also have other pens like Opus 88 and entry-level pens - like the faber castell Loom - and I'm quite happy with their performance.
Considering all of the above, whatever you do with Sailor, make sure that you can actually try the pen before even considering to spend money. Sailors are that kind of pen. I bough an entry-level Sailor - a PGS with a Fine-Medium (FM) Nib - after being in the hobby for 7 years and I was extremely disappointed with how it wrote.
It is such a shame, because the pen is beautifully built, feels great in the hand, and has aesthetics that I love. However, they tune their nibs in a very particular manner. The FM that came with my PGS feels much closer to using a sharp mechanical pencil than a regular fountain pen.
Some people call it the Sailor feedback, but honestly, for me it just feels scratchy. Unless you use extremely glossy paper, it is a frustrating experience.
Now idea about higher ranking models with broader nibs.
Just my two cents.
For anyone interested in the concept, I strongly suggest reading the book How to Take Smart Notes by Sönke Ahrens.
