Jamie's 10 Favorite Things

I’m always on the hunt for anything to make my work more efficient and even just a smidge more fun than it already is. These are 10 products I’ve bought more than once or gifted or would buy again immediately if I hurt them in some way. Five stars across the board.

TUL GEL PENS
These are my newest favorite office supply. Hundo p obsessed. Equal or greater than Muji. I hold my pen in a unique way so a good flow of ink and no smudging is critical. These fit the bill.

ZEBRA MIDLINER HIGHLIGHTERS
You know how highlighters can be aggressive? I knew you did. These take a light approach but get the job done. Also, no smudging.

POST-IT 11×11 BIG NOTES
Sometimes I need the vibe of a whiteboard without an entire new wall hanging in my home office. These are post-its on steroids but in a good way.

CUBE FLIP TIMER
As an ADHD survivor, timers are my lifesaver. This one just requires a flip of the cube to get started.

503 the popcast cancelled
LIQUID I.V. HYDRATING POWDER PACKETS
I know a hydrator might seem like an odd must-have for a podcaster but a hydrated voice is a great voice. Accent notwithstanding.

SIMPLE MODERN INSULATED TUMBLER
Is it cool if a white woman on the internet talks about a cup? DO NOT GET IT TWISTED THO. All parts are dishwasher safe and it weirdly doesn’t spill. It comes with two types of tops and two straws. Plus I use it for cold sodas that stay cold with no ice. THE DREAM.

PORTABLE POWER BANK
This is hands down the best thing I’ve ever bought on Amazon. This charger will boost your phone, tablet, or laptop and it requires no extra cords. They are all built in. Plus the AC plug is ALSO built in so it’s perfect.

WEEKLY PILL ORGANIZER
I take 16 supplements a day. No prescriptions, just optional but necessary pills to keep my gall bladder from attacking, my allergies from flaring up, and more. This pill organizer has been a game changer because I can take one day and drop it in my bag. Disclaimer: I lost “Friday” the first time I used it. So I bought another.

Air

PORTABLE WATERPROOF BLUETOOTH SPEAKER
I’m not just a podcast maker, but I’m also a listener. And this is my favorite way to listen in the bathroom where I’m trying to make curtain bangs work. Spoiler: they lasted 2 weeks.

OVERSIZED SQUARE SUNGLASSES
Sunglasses have been a part our branding for almost ten years. And these are genuinely my favorite for my big head. Plus the case is very slim so they don’t take up a lot of room. And if you lose them or scratch them, you’re out $14.
