A podcast for stationery freaks, hosted by stationery freaks. Dedicated to the love of stationery - and the potential it brings to our lives.
Household stationery isn’t “our precious pens and paper in our study” — it’s the everyday tools that keep a home ticking. We talk freezer-proof labels, kitchen whiteboards, year-at-a-glance calendars we forget to update, junk-drawer essentials, elastic bands vs Velcro ties for cables, and even a full Kanban wall system that helps a building business run.
Plus: Magic Click (a colour-pen system we need help decoding), why shrink-wrap on notebooks should be illegal, and the enduring magic of handwritten notes in old recipe books.
What We Cover
Labelling the real world: freezer labels that don’t fall off, pens that actually write on them, and why chalk pens disappointed.
Whiteboards at home: revision, “blurting” study technique, and why office whiteboards triple in size the moment they enter a house.
Family calendars: wall planners vs Google Calendar; how to stop answering “What’s for tea?” 47 times.
The junk drawer: string, Sellotape ends, last 3 Post-its, elastic bands—and occasionally £40.
Cable wrangling: elastic bands vs Velcro ties (and cats stealing the Velcro).
Kitchen Kanban: a visual, Post-it based board for a builder’s workload (columns from “mentioned” to “invoiced”).
Notes on doors: Berlin-style paper rolls to leave messages (and why phones killed the habit).
Measuring kids’ growth: doorframe ticks vs logging in Apple Notes.
