On a slightly related art supply note, a modern convenience that I love are whiteboards. A bit easier to deal with than chalkboards, and us absent minded folk appreciate a place in our faces for reminders. Also post-its. And calendars. Very much calendars!!
True, true. Although my psychiatrist thinks that it is a chicken and egg problem - did he eat paint because he was already psychotic or did eating paint make him psychotic?

Good call on whiteboards. I have one that is affixed to the fridge. Not only for Todo lists, but also for shopping lists and jotting down what I have in the fridge, leftovers and purchases. Allowed me to seriously cut down on wasting food because I forget it is rotting somewhere there
