Office Toy: The Automatic Numbering Machine
Jun 7, 2022 · original
Okay. So. This truly is an office toy for me. I didn’t NEED one of these. But when I was a child, I tried one at a real office back in ancient times, and oh… I wanted one, I wanted one baaaad. I just love mechanical things that print on paper, like rubber stamps, typewriters, adding machines, and oh yes, numbering machines. (I do not yet own a mimeograph machine or a letterpress machine, but I would certainly like to.) I have had this automatic numberer since becoming a grownup who could buy such things; and it is fun. I make many of my notebooks useful because I use this to number the pages. A few things to know about automatic numberers if you want one bad, too: The plastic ones you get at big box office stores fall apart.

Office Toy: the Date Stamp
Jan 13, 2022 · original
I like to have the date on just about everything I write. My master calendar and task tracking apps are digital, but I use a paper notebook for my daily plan and work log. What makes it MORE likely that I will a) record the date, and b) be able to read it later (my handwriting’s not the greatest) is using a date stamp. This helps me stay focused. And obviously, for a work log, it’s important to record the date as you go. Because paper helps me to keep my focus, I also use index cards and pocket notebooks to write down certain kinds of notes and ideas. It helps to put the date on these, too: it gives me context when Past Anna wrote a note that is a bit cryptic to Present Anna. Also, thoughts and ideas can expire. If I come across a note and see that the date is from a year or two ago, odds increase that I can toss that note. An early 20th century writer whose name has burrowed too deeply
