Everyone adores stationery. Whether it be crayons, washi tapes, pencils, or pens. Yet when it comes to establishing or expanding your stationery collection, there are so many options to choose from - endless colours, sizes, and quality - that it all starts to swirl into a multicoloured jumble of tools. Given that there is stationery available for each circumstance you can imagine, it is overwhelming to limit yourself to using just one blue pen. Really, you just need a handful of things to survive practically anything. Here is a list of everyday stationery essentials that can be used for almost everything.
PENCIL AND ERASER
Some people underestimate the importance of a pencil and eraser. If you need to scribble something down but aren't sure if you should preserve it, pencil is the answer. If nothing changes, you can leave what you wrote or rewrite it in pen, but if something changes, you can erase it. Because of how quickly some events may change, keeping a pencil and eraser on hand is essential for writing in your diary or organiser. If you still don't want to sharpen a pencil all the time, invest in a clutch pencil. Problem solved.
PENS
How are you meant to accomplish anything without a pen? This may seem obvious. Yet since everyone has different pen preferences, it's important to make sure you have the right pen. While some people like black pens, others favour ballpoints or pens in different colours. Having at least two pens is necessary for anything, so stock up on your favourites.
SOMETHING STICKY
When you need to stick anything up, leaving it loose is asking for trouble. That is why it is helpful to have some sticky stationery on hand at all times. Craft glue, sticky tape, or synthetic gum can all be used. You don't need all of these products, but they each have varied applications and areas where they perform best. Glueing paper into a book is far better than sticky taping it in, and using gum to glue a photo to your wall is less destructive than using tape.
HIGHLIGHTERS
Who doesn't appreciate a little bit of colour? Highlighters are essential because they offer a splash of colour to otherwise dull notebook pages. It improves the organisation of parts and ideas in whatever activity you are undertaking. Dates can be highlighted in one colour, names in another, and so forth. It does assist to sort out the particular information you are seeking when it is in a single colour.
NOTEBOOKS
Notebooks are really important since you never know when you'll need to scribble something down and you've forgotten to power your laptop. It is critical to select the proper notebook. A lined notebook will almost certainly be more useful than a blank one for a lot of writing. Having one of each would be ideal because you never know when you would require it.
This may still appear to be a bit overwhelming, but it is better than getting lost in a stationery store by the hallways of colour. Perhaps you realised what you were lacking on your desk, or you will expand your stationery stash beyond that one black pen.
