Preparing for the new school year or organizing a workplace is always an exciting, costly, and troublesome event. Both students, office managers, and parents of schoolchildren make a list of stationery and writing materials in advance.
And although we are more and more often doing all kinds of tasks on the computer, working "in the cloud", and doing exercises on various sites, pens, pencils and paper do not lose their relevance.
What should a stationery list include so as not to forget anything you need? Pupils and students of technical specialties must have pencils of different hardness and elastic. For daily recordings, ballpoint pens or gel pens will certainly come in handy. Expensive replaceable ink pens, in general, give the impression of solidity and prestige, but are completely impractical for ordinary everyday use. Unless every two or three weeks you sign important contracts with such a pen. But capillary pens or liners will come in handy for an office worker, a student, and a schoolboy.
The list of stationery can include a bar (most conveniently not liquid, but tape), and blocks for notes, and all kinds of markers. Proofreaders are not used in important documents, but for drafts and projects they are quite suitable. If you often give presentations or hold seminars, you will also need markers for the whiteboard, and if you write data to discs, special markers for CD and DVD.
The list of stationery also includes organizers, staplers for papers, folders with separators. Cardboard and archive folders, document boxes or pallets will help maintain order in the workplace. The list of stationery for the office can not do without staplers and adhesive tape. Display books (or folders with files), registrars on rings or a spring are necessary wherever work is done with clients and file cabinets.
Self-punching stamps or daters are included in the list of stationery for all kinds of offices. If you are working with a lot of papers, finger moisturizers and stamp pads will come in handy .
The list of stationery for high school students includes glue - both PVA and pencil, as well as "files" of various sizes. Weekly and diaries are increasingly replacing electronic devices and organizers for us. In the West - especially in Scandinavia - even younger schoolchildren carry tablet computers (provided by the school) with them, rather than kilogram backpacks. Nevertheless, the requirements of modern life are such that paperwork is still relevant. Yes, and children learn to write "by hand", and not just computer typing. And although even in middle and high school, abstracts and all kinds of projects should be handed over already in printed form, and in universities more and more often the exchange of information between students and teachers is carried out by e-mail, stationery does not lose their need.
In terms of price, there should be common sense. It is completely optional to buy "branded" expensive stationery and stationery , it is important that they are reliable and convenient.
