Sometimes the simple process of writing some thoughts down can help generate valuable ideas. And by writing thoughts down, I’m not referring to writing via a MacBook, Blackberry, or iPhone; I mean the old fashion way on paper. Writing in a trusty notebook can be a fast and reliable way to purge those ideas and help see them through.
One of the best notebooks is from Moleskine. These classic notebooks are great for satisfying your need to jot down notes, make a few sketches, or brainstorm the next big idea. Moleskine notebooks
come in a variety of sizes and paper styles to match your needs. Whether on the train, or killing some time in a coffee shop, a paper notebook is a classic method for recording your thoughts and spurring creativity.

Having the right gear can mean all the difference when trying to be productive and creative. When pouring thoughts on to a piece of paper, a plain white page can, in a weird way, actually hinder the potential for efficient brainstorming.
Behance’s Action Pad
could be the perfect paper for brainstorming. Rather than having a plain white page staring at back at you, the Action Pad by Behance is broken up into four separate zones that help add more flexibility for a meeting or solitary brainstorming session. Easily list action steps, separate ideas to put on the backburner, use the dot grid for various notations, or use the pad to outline the agenda of an upcoming meeting.

Although it may be an odd complaint to some, I get carded regularly when venturing to the bar. Every time I get asked to see ID I ungracefully fumble around for my wallet to prove my baby face is really just a front.
The ViewSlimmy wallet
is the the perfect solution. ViewSlimmy’s ultra-thin design makes it easy to keep in the front pocket, as well as easily accessible. In addition to its simple and unobtrusive design, the ViewSlimmy also sports an outside window which isolates the ID and keeps it handy for flashing to the bar tender.
