Black "white" board

In my never-ending war against distraction and pro-focus, I’ve started making very short “what’s next” lists I can keep more or less in my sight line during the workday. The best solution I’ve found so far is the Desktop Black Glass Weekly Planner Dry Erase Whiteboard with Detachable Wood Stand coupled with the Liquid Chalk Markers (3mm) by Lana and Luca. The Yeoux board comes with a white “chalk glass marker” that’s ... fine ... But you can’t leave it horizontal on the stand, it has to be stored upside down or it ends up writing barely legible “ghost’ letters.

The Lana & Luca liquid chalk markers are bright, vibrant, and have a finer point. You have to shake them before use, and you have to press down on the tip a bit more than “a few seconds” at first use before they’ll start writing, but once they get going they look amazing, and it’s nice to be able to differentiate easily with different colors.

Edit: In order of vibrancy: White, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink. Legible but sad: Red, orange.
