I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
My tablet for school. I bought it because I was sick of shifting through stacks of handwritten notes while writing papers. Turns out it was the best purchase I made as a student. I haven’t bothered to write on paper since, and it’s saved me a ton of time and money (otherwise spent on printing supplies). I’ve started using it for work as well. I don’t know if I could function without one now.
Do you take notes by typing or by hand with a stylus. Or do you use one of those Samsung automated OCR handwriting? I want to try a tablet for my workflow but I hate typing on touch screens. It even infuriates me on my phone.
I’m pretty much the opposite. I love tech solutions like todoist, kanban apps, ClickUp, etc. But the first thing I reach for is pen and paper. I need to write something before it becomes real.
I even started using Obsidian recently. But first I have to write stuff in a notepad before I’ll create the same thing in the app.
Seems wasteful but I’ve also found it good for memory retention when I’m having to do things twice.
I absolutely LOVE my tablet, but I use it for internet and reading. I sketch on it sometimes, but pencil and paper is where I sketch the most. I use mine way more than my phone when I am around the house. I don’t understand why they aren’t more popular.
