I just met my perfect notebook --- Leuchtturm Journals!
Last April 29, National Book Store launched the "Personalize Your Leuchtturm (loy-turm) Journal" event at their branch in Glorietta, Makati. We got to engrave our names on the soft leather cover of our chosen journal. Here's me with mine. You will fall in love with this notebook's details! From its ink proof and acid proof paper, its numbered pages, its detachable sheets, to its page marker, elastic enclosure band and most of all, the myriad of colors that you can choose from! |
National Book Store also let us personalize the inside pages with crash courses on calligraphy and stamp making.
Here's Leuchtturm representative Leo Everett with National Book Store's Managing Director, Xandra Ramos.
And here's Leo Everett trying out the notebook engraver for the event's guests.
Leuchtturm is available at all National Book Store branches. Just ask customer service which branch currently carries the engraver.

There’s another nifty school or work item that also works well as an organizing tool. A clipboard! You can mount it on your workstation to organize your files. Create your own clipboard photo wall! Or an art gallery for all your kid’s artwork! Clipboards also make excellent necklace holders as they keep the chains from becoming entangled. An average clipboard isn't so average with a little bit of imagination.

Albert Einstein had a very messy desk! google.plus.com So does that give us all a creative excuse to have a messy desk? Maybe not. Well, not unless you are a genius just like him than maybe, just maybe, you can be excused. But for the rest of us mortals, if you want to gear up for an exciting career year, then it’s time to de-clutter your office work station. When I got back to the office after the short holiday break, I was hung over from all the festivities. But the moment I arrived at the office this morning, it was like getting smacked on the face! I faced a big pile of paperwork left over from last year, unfiled documents and folders strewn across the table, left over gift bags under my table… in short my work station could rival that of Einstein’s! Luckily I was able to get to work early to do some post-holiday de-cluttering. Here are some tips I learned along the way! 1. FIND A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING Use containers and file organizers to create a home for everything in your work station…. Then stick by it! Don’t fall into the rut of using the top shelf of your office drawer as a catchall. Assign a place for all your paper clips and binders, a space for your pens and erasers. Now that you know exactly where everything is and should be kept, this will also help you become more efficient at work. 2. BE PAPERWISE It’s time to live by the expression “Think Before You Print”. If you don’t need to print it, then don’t! You save Mother Earth a lot of waste. Another way to keep paper waste under control is to keep a paper recycling bin beside your trash can or the printer. This way, you will encourage yourself and office mates to reuse paper and lessen office clutter. greenhomeauthority.com 3. TRY TO GO WIRELESS If you can, invest in wireless or Bluetooth devices to lessen the cords around your office work space. No wires = less clutter. clickonf5.org 4. INSPIRE YOURSELF Replace the mess on your desk with photos or well-placed favorite objects that will make you love your work place. handmadeandcraft.com 5. PACK AWAY
My daughter does this in Nursery school, so why can’t I? Before leaving the office, take a minute or two to put things away. You come back the next day to a clean and tidy environment that will put you in a better mood to work. Here’s to a new year, a newly cleaned workplace and a new outlook for our careers! |
