Over the last 5 years, I've been focusing on quality over quantity. I've owned numerous notebooks, watches, knives, and even cars. But recently, I've been slowing down and got rid of all my extra stuff. Most of the things on this list are pretty damn self-explanatory except for my obsession with notebooks.

I can forget anything else in this list, but my notebook [and to a slightly lesser extent, my keys] is the most important item here. I made it a couple of days ago using Pueblo leather [same kind of leather as my wallet] and Etsy parts. This one is replacing an old, beat-up Plotter Mini. I use a notebook every day. From shopping lists, keeping track of expenses, or even a place to dump ideas. This is my most used tool, and I run through notebooks like no one's business. I particularly like it because I can rip pages out and add them as needed. I have a 2-foot-wide by 1.5-foot-deep drawer full of stationery.
