Who would think that misplacing a small pencil sharpener would have such an effect on my ability to run a smooth call session? No! Me neither! Everyone who knows me knows that I LOVE stationery.\u00a0 I love a high performance pen like a Parker (of course) or a Cross where you can have a fancy looking outside and stock up on refills. I have a Mont Blanc on my wish list!\u00a0 I love it when businesses invest in a good giveaway pen – it means their marketing messages hang around a bit longer before you throw them in the pen bin or recycle them into plant markers.<\/p>\n
The other day (.. well a few years ago actually before ‘you know when’) I was in an art shop taking in all the stationery and I found a super high performance pencil sharpener!\u00a0 Now, for me, even better than those lovely pens is a lovely sharp pencil!\u00a0 Up until the point when I saw said sharpener, I had only experienced short term sharpening followed by long term disappointment when the blades started to blunten (.. is that a word?).\u00a0 \u00a0 There he was – Noris the Staedtler … ‘Vorsprung durch sharpening!’.\u00a0 For months, he sat proudly on my desk while I zipped through my calls.<\/p>\n
When I am researching new companies for my clients, I take a lot of notes and flip between keyboard and paper.\u00a0 Noris recently took itself off for a trip behind some boxes and stayed there for a few months (I’m renovating my house – I’m not normally this messy!) until he popped back up again.\u00a0 \u00a0This interim time without little Noris has had a somewhat chaotic effect on my note taking as I suffered a stream of poorly performing pens.\u00a0 Imagine my unbridled joy at our reunion, when Noris and I celebrated with a jamboree of sharpening.<\/p>\n
Why am I telling you this?\u00a0 Because, dear reader, you can’t control everything in life but for the day to run smoothly, there needs to be a system with a place for everything and everything in its place!\u00a0 \u00a0I run at optimum efficiency on the phone when the most\u00a0 apparently insignificant detail of a pencil sharpener is on my desk next to the pencil pot ready for action!\u00a0 From the tips of your toes to the top of your head.<\/p>\n
