I have a penchant for fresh notebooks and mechanical pencils. It seems every time I go to the store, I buy a new notebook. I have dozens of them just sitting around.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My problem with mechanical pencils is that I break the lead tips constantly.
I've been writing in notebooks for 40 years or so.
I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.
I buy a lot of electronics, some which I never take out of the box!
I bought a seven-dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring.
I take almost no notes when I write. I have one notebook - this old green leather notebook that my dad gave me a decade ago.
I carry a notebook with me everywhere. But that's only the first step.
A part of my kind of design and inspiration ethos is that I carry around a leather notebook and I sketch in it, doodle in it, write notes in it, and I put pictures in it.
I am a crazy online shopper. My husband always jokes, 'Another box arrived!' Airplanes used to be my sanctuary for reading books, but now I have to peruse Gilt sales.
Gadgets are usually the last thing I think about, and if there's something new, I'll get to the store for the final shipment of the first generation when it's on sale. So I have last year's stuff.
