A Reusable Notebook That Lets You Store Notes on the Cloud
If you are an avid note taker who often litters their desk with ephemeral Post It notes and sheets of paper, this notebook could be for you. A smart notebook that you can easily scan onto your computer and automatically categorize using its connected app, the other perk to this product its resusability—just pop it in the microwave for a few minutes, and you can erase all the contents and start anew. (Two notes to remember: one, the notebook must be microwaved every 2 months otherwise it leaves faint pen marks, and two, you also must use it with Pilot Frixion pens in order for it to erase.)

A Good Pair of Noise Cancelling Headphones
If you’d prefer to zone into your work by listening to your tunes as opposed to your coworker’s conversations, get yourself a pair of headphones that really keep the noise out. The less you can hear, the less of a chance one of your team members has a chance of interrupting your workflow. This pair is also great because they’re wireless!

A Great Stylus
We’re really big fans of the Apple pencil for its pressure sensitivity and its uncanny simulation of pencil strokes when it’s on the pencil setting—however, we’re also well aware the flexibility is limited as it’s only for the iPad pro (anyone with recommendations of their absolute favorite stylus should contribute their thoughts in the comments below!)
