I can't be the only one who loves getting new stationery, am I? Whether it's a new pen, new notebooks or even just rediscovering some post-it notes that went missing months ago, I love being organised and making myself lists.I almost leapt at the chance to pick out some new stationery bits from Viking Direct, I don't think I could get on the site any quicker to check out their stock and start making my selection. They have everything from office supplies to coffee and tea- which are in my opinion, essentials for an office too!
I picked out the Stabilo Fineliners* set (similar here), as you really can't go wrong with coloured pens and I like to color code things - you should see my calendar. It was covered in red bubbles for the past few months as red corresponded to deadlines and university work (I'm so exciting, I know but I've finished now!!! Still can't get my head around that though...) I've used Stabilo pens in the past, I used to have the mini ones, and they were great for revision.
I also picked out two new notebooks; a classic black Moleskine* as I've never owned one and always admired them and a lined burgundy Foray notebook*. I went for the A5 Moleskine with blank pages so I can doodle and make spider diagrams when I'm planning posts and organising holiday checklists (although, I would need a holiday booked first...) and it's just the right size to carry around in my bag everyday.
The Foray one is lined and feels so soft, it's almost like a leather look/feel and the burgundy shade is so lovely. For note-taking and planning to deadlines, this is so useful and it would be great to use as a diary too!
No new stationery set is complete without some heart* and flower* shaped post-it notes. I mentioned already I like making lists and keeping on top of things, so post-it's are a great way to make little lists and notes to your future self about what you need to do the next day.
How do you stay organised?
