PSA: stop doodling on your to-do list with ballpoint pens

Was sitting in a meeting at the downtown library last Tuesday and grabbed a random ballpoint to sketch a little cat on my task sheet. By the end of the day the ink had bled through seven pages and ruined my notebook. Switched to a cheap gel pen from the dollar store and it stays on top of the paper without wrecking anything underneath. Has anyone else found a go-to pen that doesn't destroy your whole notebook?

Pilot G2 0.7, never had a bleed through issue.

The Pilot G2 0.7 is the only pen I buy. But here's the thing - what paper are you using? I've had bleed through on cheap copy paper with that same pen. Tried it on some Rhodia notepads and it was perfect. You ever test it on different paper types or just stick with one brand?

Heard Rhodia paper is basically the gold standard for fountain pens too.
