It’s good to hear about your workflow, and I agree about the widget too. It’s on the roadmap!

A few friends threw this together today. Right now it's pulling in info from the following sources:

Reminds me of the work of Japanese artist Mio I-zawa, who makes things like "mechanical tumors" that grow in size based on your CPU load:

The Behance dot grid books are great for layout sketches: http://www.creativesoutfitter.com/

Konigi graph paper looks decent for wireframing: http://konigi.com/tools/overview

As do Whiteline books (you can buy them off Amazon): http://www.whitelines.se/en/

I personally use and recommend Muji recycled ring notebooks. They're relatively cheap and excellent for quick sketches/journaling: http://www.muji.us/store/stationery/note/recycled-paper-note...

For me, anything that'll let me get my ideas on paper as quickly and effortlessly as possible is the way to go. As long as the notebook doesn't get in the way, it's perfect.

A Behance dot grid notebook was with me at every meeting until it ran out of pages. I recently replaced it with a Whitelines notebook, which I like even better.

Those whitelines notebooks are a great hack on the traditional lined paper. I like the structure of lined paper but dislike how the drawn lines on the papers lines make it hard to see. Great find!

Cute idea, but $9 for a basic A6 notebook? Eesh.
