A playful book cover featuring the title "I'M BORED" in bold blue letters against a light blue background. An illustration of a young girl with pigtails, wearing a striped shirt, leans against the word "BORED" with a disinterested expression. The Junior Library Guild Selection gold seal is displayed in the lower-right corner, highlighting the book's recognition.

I use a combo of my digital calendar on my phone and a plain coil scribbler to do my lists, writing ideas, outlines, first drafts of various manuscripts, household tasks, and whatever else I need to remember.
I like the versatility a coil scribbler that I can rip pages out if needed.
