Compulsive doodler? In certain situations, I totally am one! In fact, all is better with one’s preferred writing tool and paper, for countless reasons. Expressive writing, lists, more lists, love notes, post-it notes, letters, lyrics, on and on. No matter how small my bag is, I feel more complete with a pen and paper.

Meeting notes, letters, journal entries, lists, mind mapping, whatever, it gives you a reason to use cool pens/markers, notebooks/paper. You can also practice your handwriting like when you were a kid (btw did anyone else’s school ascribe social status to the way you wrote a lowercase “a”?). This includes cursive which is a dying art!
Something something scientific studies about how writing by hand helps with processing information and emotions… but mostly, it’s just an awesome sensory experience. It makes your notes, ideas, etc. really feel like YOUR OWN.

Long live the Notes app, but nothing beats just writing something down right as it pops into your head. To serve the sense of urgency at all times, one will inevitably collect a large and eclectic array of notebooks and notepads. I am considering getting one of those slates that scuba divers use to communicate underwater and keeping it in the shower.

Designed by a father so his kids could take photos on camping trips without being distracted by phones. View-finder only, perfectly imperfect resolution. Digital, eventually. Old school look, feel and sound. Everyone smiles when they use it.

Social media serves a smorgasbord of delicious Bowie snippets. He’s so cool, human, accessible, unreachable, iconic.

I’m a serial monogamist when it comes to t-shirts. Whichever one has made it out of hiding, it tends to be ’the one’ for seemingly ages until, for whatever reason, it changes. And then, that one is ’the one’. The current ‘one’ is an oldie: Keith Haring for Cotton On (Iconic Aussie brand). Pale pink, big and baggy. Note to self - don’t ruin or lose.
