In this episode we discuss what annual stationery we buy each year and why.  

We cover:

• Basic stationery stuff like journals, yellow legal pads and the humble paperclip.
• Training your brain for brainstorming
• Fountain pens and how they slow your brain down to think clearer
• Mechanical pencils and how Rob's forbidden from using them
• The legacy of old journals or maybe it's just fire fodder for Rob's kids
• And more

We mention or talk about :

• The 1980's called and they want Helen back - she's into these Filofax clipbooks
• Paipur notebooks- and how Helen LOVES these, but alas, they don't seem to be trading anymore.
• Zen Art Supplies - Our new favourite place for stationery.
• Rob's journal of choice is a Moleskine A6
• Rob loves Field Notes, but they are damn expensive here in the UK.
• Moleskine cahiers are Rob's preferred choice of little jotters for ideas, notes and tasks.
• Retractable pencils - be careful as pressing on hard like Rob does could take someone's eye out. These are the less dangerous of them all.
• Paperchase Products Ltd - the shop we often can't walk past.
• We mention how Jerry Seinfeld uses Yellow Legal pads to write jokes.
• Robs Yellow Legal Pads of choice.
• Cheap and cheerful fountain pens and how they slow you down.
• James Clear's article Rob references.
• Uniball Jet Stream Pens.
• Papermate Inkjoy pens that Helen loves.
• Papermate Flair Pens that Helen doodles with.
• Tombow Brush pens that Helen uses.
• Rob typically buys an annual wall planner.
