We recently posted an article that teaches readers how to Maximize Your Output and Employ Smarter Work Strategies. As a direct follow up to that article, we thought it’s be helpful (and fun!) to share some of our favorite products when it comes to organizing life. If you are anything like us, the days quickly fill up with tasks, meetings, and calls, and before you know it it is 5pm and you are wondering where the day went.
This article is for everyone that resonates with that feeling. Hopefully these products allow you to find some compartmentalization in your life and ultimately cross off more items on your to-do list!

Notebooks so you can write it down
- Moleskine Classic Notebook – Hardcover
- Why we love it: This notebook is the queen of all notebooks. It’s beautiful, sleek, and just feels really official when you write in it. It’s probably because of the notebook’s signature rounded corners and ivory pages that just makes you feel fancy. We love the hard-cover XXL (8.5″ x 11″) ruled/lined version, but it also comes in a soft cover if that is more your vibe. Plus each notebook comes with a handy elastic closure so you can make sure all of your pages stay neatly in place.

- Papyrus Bio-Based Faux Leather Journal
- Why we love it: This notebook is very similar to the Moleskine above, but for a much more stomachable price point. This notebook also features premium ivory paper but also includes gold gliding along its paper edges, which just looks really pretty. Lastly, it includes a helpful flap that you can use to mark your place within the pages, helping with productivity and organization.

Additionally, it comes with a helpful tab of stickers for further organization and quick reference.

- Apple Notes Digital Notebook
- Why we love it: Apple notes is a native app on all Apple products. We call it out here because we love how easy it is to access (since most people always have your phone or iPad on them) and we love how easy it is to share. Send to someone else for collaboration via text, email, or Airdrop!
