Since I was very little, I've been obsessed with every "school supplies" aisle. My favorite day of the year was when we went school supplies shopping. I counted down the days, dreaming of fresh pencils and a stack of colored notebooks. A pack of great pens or a new journal can give you a new lease on life! I can't get enough.
In my adulthood, most of my organization is digital. I live by my Google Calendar, and we use Asana to run my marketing agency. But there is still very much a place for paper products. I try to free-write my Morning Pages, and I like to jot random noticings in a tiny journal I can tuck in my purse while out and about. More of my favorite paper and desk products below --

Desktop Delights & School Supplies
This has been my favorite gift to date. Monogrammed for my high school graduation, my grandparents presented me with this leather computer case. It has gone everywhere with me since and has patinated beautifully.
The never-fail Moleskine. I've been eyeing their recently released highlighter yellow color. It's classic and has a pocket in the back for little things you might pick up in the season of life you are journaling about.
This is a cheaper version that also comes in many fun colors.
If you're handwriting morning pages, you're likely to go through a lot of paper. I also like this giant, cheap pack that gets the job done.
But if I'm itching for a felt tip, I go for these from Sharpie or a fancier Micron.
Very charmed by the Italian-inspired paper marble look on this pocket journal. Perfect for a purse.
More drool-worthy marbled paper. Or a marble pen holder for a bit of pattern!
Embroidered journal for special times. (AKA everyday) Another floral pattern I like.
Love these mildliners in every color. So many soothing colors! Makes note-taking more fun.
Never too old for a sticker book. Fun on cards, notes, reminders to yourself. Especially love these compliment stickers for offering cheeky encouragement!
The Post-it pack I use for brainstorming. Littered all over my desk.
Would be perfect for a pen pouch.
Special throw in your purse pouch for supplies—personalized!
The best mouse pad for making internet art.
My trusty noise-canceling headphones. Worth the money.
And of course, The Artist's Way.
