Use it, Don't Lose it. Organizing Pens, Pencils, and Markers

July 01, 2020

Overview

For those of us who are plagued with pen, pencil, and/or marker organization problems, here are three ways I use the NG Sensible Solutions Circle Tie System to organize my writing utensils into "stations" throughout the house.

Solution 1: The Shopping List Station

I secured an old writing pad with some masking tape on the refrigerator and used a Circle Tie System to mount a pen or pencil next to it.

Now I have a pen and pad in a convenient place when jotting down my shopping list.

Solution 2: The Work Desk Station
I mounted a blue pen, a black pen, a mechanical pencil, and a permanent marker to my computer monitors.

Here is a close up of the blue pen to give you some more detail:

Mounting these to my monitors allowed me to remove the pen/pencil holder from my desk which freed up more desk space.

Solution 3: The "Whiteboard" Station
When I moved my workstation out to the garage, I found an extra screen door window. Rather than store it somewhere or throw it away, I repurposed it as a “white board” for taking quick notes.

I mounted a black, blue, and red marker along the trim of the window with some Circle Tie Systems to give the markers a storage place on the “whiteboard”. Here is a close up of the red and blue markers:
