I’m addicted to stationery, it’s my one weakness, I can spend hours looking at it! These stationery products that you will love are jsut a few of the items that I love to use or want to have!
I have collected some stationery products together that I know you will love just as much as I do!
There are so many different things that you can do with technology and this amazes me, but I can’t get away from the need to have a physical planner, paper and pens that I can use to plan and organize my life.
Finding The Perfect Planner
The problem isn’t the lack of planners on the market, I think there are so many that it is difficult to find the right one for your current situation.
What you need to remember is that as your needs change, how you plan your day might change also; this can mean readjusting how you plan and the type of planner that you need.
I wrote a great article on using a day planner, check it out here! The Ultimate Guide To Using A Day Planner.

The Paper And The Pads Are Just As Important
Having paper or just something you are comfortable writing on is important, I like to clear my head of things that can sometimes mean just writing and to do this I need to make sure that I have paper for this outlet.

You Have To Have The Right Pens
The pen you write with is just as important, for me, it can tell the mood I am in as to which pen I choose. I have a choice depending on how I feel.
Fountain Pen: Writing with a fountain pen is like having a favourite toy in your hand, it’s part of who you are.

Improving Your Handwriting And Penmanship
I have really bad penmanship, it wasn’t something that I was taught in school. I do wish I had better writing, I love to write and it would be so nice if it looked nice too!
Spencerian Penmanship: Finding the style of writing you like is always a great start.

Sharon,
I enjoyed your article! But you forgot the one perfect office accessory that will help you feel better at the end of a long day after sitting in a cubical or office. This one simple item is often the most over looked and forgotten item when setting up a work area. That one item is a chair mat. Rolling your desk chair on carpet, concrete , or wood floor just adds stress to your legs and back. Chair mats allow you to glide through out a busy day. A chair mat when matched up correctly with the floor type, chair and length of use adds an amazing amount of comfort and relaxation for your legs. Not to mention saving your carpet or floor from the destroying impact of chair casters. Staples has a great selection of Staples Branded chair mats manufactured for Staple by E S Robbins. The leader in innovation, quality and service. Do you legs a favor and check them out.
