1) A smartphone. I use it to record notes and random ideas as they strike me, read & answer emails, find directions, and all that other good stuff. The note taking is a huge advantage though.
2) An online calendar. For better or worse, I've freed up my brain space in favor of an online calendar to track my meetings, appointments, events, etc. I don't have to keep those in mind anymore. Personally, I love this, but it does make me overly dependent on the online calendar.
3) Goldtouch keyword. I love this thing. I was trying to stay away from brand names in my list, but I didn't know how else to describe it. It folds down from the middle allows you to touch-type in a very ergonomic position, at least for me.
4) Duct tape. It truly can repair anything physical. Just fixed my fan with it.
5) A towel. You always need to have a towel ;)
- drKarl 16y agoHahaha nice reference to "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" in #5. Douglas Adam would be proud ;) I agree with you on the smartphone, I use an android flavoured device myself. The online calendar is a win as well, and it integrates great with the smartphone. I would add Evernote (or similar)!! For online note-taking. Didn't know about Goldtouch keyboard before, I'll have a look. Duct tape!! McGyver lives in our heart ;) Thank you
- camiller 16y agoAs long as your bringing up MacGyver, Victorinox "Tinker" Swiss Army knife. Duct tape to put things together, knife to take 'em apart. The Tinker is small enough for every day pocket-ability but versatile enough to do about anything you need.
- mikeleeorg 16y agoAlthough I don't have a Swiss Army knife myself, a buddy swears by it. He even breaks it out when we're just grabbing a bite to eat. Other restaurant patrons always cast sideways glances at him, but hey, at least he's able to open his bottle of beer. ;)
