Study Tools

I'm obsessed with "supplies"  and am pretty sure the right ones help me study better.

When I'm really working it, these are my essentials:

• The Pomodoro Timer for the Pomodoro Technique.  Great for those of us who need "task orienting."

• Bob's Your Uncle 8-Day Journal -- Wondering where the day went?  To be written in after (not before) those Pomodoro half hours are completed.

• Micron Black Pens (extra fine, please)

• Moleskin Pocket Notebooks, to catch all of those brilliant little thoughts that I don't want to escape.  It usually takes me 2 or 3 incorrect orders to find the ones I really like (i.e. pocket size, lined, soft cover).
