I really like big deskpads. The bigger the better. Having a big calendar/grid paper sheet right under your keyboard makes it so much more likely for me to pre-plan things because I can sketch faster than I can type. Here's an idea for someone: have some easy-to-rattle off key combo you can push to record the current state of whatever application is currently focused on screen (what project/files are open in my IDE, what tab is focused in my browser, etc) to a little sqlite instance somewhere. Show a notification with an easy to write down unambiguous ID that auto increments, probably including the date. Like 14APRB or something. I can jot that down in my notepad. Later on, I can bring that workspace back up using the ID I wrote down, so that way I'm not writing file paths and method names down on paper.
