Productivity picks to bring work into focus

Our team swears by a few simple, affordable productivity tools for getting things done.

Progress Tracker Poster from Free Period Press: Break big goals down into manageable daily milestones and you’ll accomplish your goals before you know it. Plus, each day’s checkmark is so satisfying!

Analog writing tools to keep the creative juices flowing

Sure, most of our work these days involves typing on a keyboard, but as certified paper nerds, we all turn to analog writing tools for ideating, notating and daydreaming.

Original Kraft Notebook from Field Notes: Graph, ruled or plain, this 3.5x5.5” saddle-stitched notebook is the perfect size for notes on the go. And did you know there’s a version for lefties? 

Smooth Gel Ink Ballpoint Knock Pens from Muji: The water-based ink in these pens makes for an incredibly smooth writing experience, and the colors are fun!

Kaweco CLASSIC Sport Fountain Pen from Yoseka Stationery: Looking for fancy office supplies that don’t break the bank? The gold detailing on this Kaweco screams sophistication, yet its lightweight design makes it a perfect starter fountain pen.

Mildliner Dual-Tip Creative Highlighter from Zebra: Traditional neon highlighters can be harsh. Mildliners are easier on the eyes. Great for bullet journaling! 

Trodat Professional 5430 Self-Inking Dater from The StampMaker: Remember how, before the advent of digital checkout systems, your librarian would stamp a checkout card and tuck it inside your book? Our team has one of those stamps. Is it necessary? No. Does it make work fun? Yes.

Printing must-haves for professional polish

We have plenty of professional printing equipment at the office, but our home printers get a ton of use too!

Fore® Multi-Purpose Printer Paper from Hammermill®: We may be biased, but we think this high-quality printer paper is the best choice for newsletters, flyers, memos, reports and anything else you might need to print. Need regular deliveries? Subscribe and save 5%.

Sardine Paper Clips from Ototo Design: We love a cheeky paper clip, and this sardine tin container brings a touch of whimsy to memos, reports and informational packets.

Zenith '590 Mix' Stapler from Little King: When a paperclip just won’t cut it, this Italian-made contraption makes stapling fun.
