Muji Pens
Simple. Functional. Beautiful. Affordable. I use them for everything, and would be devastated if for whatever reason they stopped making the 0.5MM version.

Productivity Hourglasses
There are a thousand digital productivity apps and “hacks” out there, many of them great, to help you stay on track throughout the day. As nice as some of them are, for me these analog 30 and 5-minute hourglasses (pomodoro method) work beautifully to help get things done.

Warby Parker Crane Glasses
I was born with a scar in the back of my right eye, but strangely have the best vision in my family. Too good to last I suppose, and recently had to get glasses. Fortunately, Warby Parker exists, and good quality and design doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag.

Soma Water Carafe
Gotta stay hydrated! Or, if anything, a copious amount of water helps offset the 12 cups of coffee I drink per day. Soma makes that easier. Beautifully designed and functional.

Timex watches are simple, classic and affordable. My wife Gretchen put a new battery and band on my Grandfather’s old broken Timex watch as a wedding present, and I’ve worn it almost every day since then.
