I use ballpoint pens. I make sure they're not too scratchy and steer clear of the edges of the hands then you can easily avoid the notepad when washing hands during the day. I usually have about 5 pens in my back right pocket. (dumb)phone goes in back left pocket. notes and $$ go in the front pockets. I do not wear clothing without jeans-style pockets.

I sometimes wonder how many germs I avoid by not using pens provided to me by other people because I always have my own handy. Right before I drop my food on the floor then pick it up and eat it.

The main problem i have is if I'm too tired to transcribe the notes remaining at the end of the day from my hand to paper, because they're illegible by morning, or if I'm in a hurry and write messily or using abbreviations then I have no idea what I had thought of later in the day and it bugs me.

I have also recently taken to carryinng pads of paper, it's less inconvenient than I thought it would be. I have one on the dryer in the basement, one by my bed, one in my gym bag and one in the car. although to be honest I tend to use the paper hand towel at the gym.

My laundry is always done. Getting to bed early is my current project.
