(Re)Organisation Series: My Walking Stationary Pouch


Yet more credit must go to Miss Organizedlikejen for the inspiration here. I bought a day-to-a-page 2013-2014 organiser and A3 clear popper wallet from WH Smith and hey presto! I have all my stationary needs in one place to grab on the go!

Here's what you'll need for a walking stationary pouch:
A3 Popper Wallet WH Smith
Organiser/diary/journal
Clear plastic case with assorted stickers/labels
Clear plastic case with pens, Post-It notes, ruler
3-sided ruler

See you soon for more of 'the organisation project that turned into a thousand'!

Back To School: Stationary Haul/Supplies


Sticky Notes:
I like Post-Its for daily to-do lists, sticking in agendas/academic diaries, or writing down key information for revision.

Fineliner Pens:
I use coloured Staedtler fineliner pens mostly for revision.

Colourful Stickers:
Great for marking tasks when they're completed, revision, or generally brightening up your notes/agenda.

Index Cards:
I love using colourful flash cards to summarise and learn key information during revision. As a dyslexic I find it particularly focuses my mind on what I need to learn for specific exams. I keep them in a plastic folder to keep them clean and neat when I pop them in my school bag.

Pens:
I find Uni-ball pens the only ones that I use daily for work, mostly because they flow properly and encourage me to write more. Always a bonus!
