blue-tack.
Duct tape and WD40. Do you need anything else?
When I’m working at the computer I use my Nerf gun as a wife repellant. Well I did until she got her own.
get the Nerf belt fed machine gun & replace the batteries with an RC battery back, that thing will rock “n” roll, keeps my missus out off the computer room… 🙂
Has to be my phone. It revolutionised the way I live. Appointments, meetings, tasks and contacts are all synched through gmail/calendar from my laptop.
Otherwise… Duct tape. I love duct tape *evil laugh*
Cable Ties, blu tac & superglue, that shit will fix anything…
My favourite tool, which seems to have lost popularity these days, is a proofreader.
Fridge whiteboards. One as a calendar, one for budgeting & meal planning
You know you can write directly on the fridge with a whiteboard marker, right?
LeatherMan (this one http://www.leatherman.com/product/Wave)
Use it to cut DuctTape, Cable ties, etc etc
I actually need this more than the phone……
This.
I Carry my Leatherman Charge everywhere and use it daily.
