WEBVTT - Buy yourself some school supplies

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning.

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura, Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>tip is to buy yourself some school supplies, whether you

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>are going back to school or not, or even know

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>anyone who is. Sometimes a new notebook and pens can

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>give you new energy that is definitely worth a few

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>dollars to achieve. So I have five kids going back

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to school this fall, and we are working our way

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>through the lists of suggested supplies. People need notebooks, pencils, folders, binders,

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and of course, replacement backpacks for the ones that all

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>got beat up last year. Now for some of those things,

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I know we may have some sitting around that could

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>get reused. But school supplies are relatively cheap as things go.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>And if a new folder makes a kid excited about

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>science class, then I believe that is ninety nine cents

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>well spent. I believe the same thing about adults. No,

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a cute little notebook is not going to magically make

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>you more organized, nor is a cute little notebook magically

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 1>going to help you come up with good ideas. But

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe a cute little notebook will make you excited to

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 1>take that notebook and go sit in a coffee shop

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>and daydream and brainstorm, and you happen to get a

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>workable idea out of all of that. For many folks

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>listening to this podcast, I am guessing that a new

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>workable idea is definitely worth a six dollars investment. Or

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>if a new pen helps you stick with the writing

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>in brainstorming for twenty minutes long longer because it is

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>such a pleasure to write with, well, that is a

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>big win too, So go ahead and buy yourself some

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>school supplies. Maybe you grab a notebook and pens while

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.679
<v Speaker 1>you're out with your kids, or maybe if you don't

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>have kids, or even if you do, you go to

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>a Target or Walmart on your own. Sometimes give yourself

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 1>a few minutes to gaze at the bounty and see

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>what catches your eye. I did this recently and wound

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>up with some PenTile innergel pins and some sharpy sgl pins.

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I also wound up with two spiral notebooks that are

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>college bound, not traditionally sized, and have hard covers like

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you'd see on a hard bound book. Even better, both

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>have little elastics to help them stay closed. I am

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>just ridiculously happy looking at these little notebooks. Feeling happy

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.799
<v Speaker 1>is a good in its own right, but of course

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>using your school supplies would be even better. So here

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.359
<v Speaker 1>I am going to give a little tip for anyone

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>who shares my quirk of not wanting to spoil a

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>beautiful little notebook. By two or even three. Now you

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>can preserve one of them as being too pretty to use,

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>or else think of it as waiting for the perfect

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>thought that is worth going in that notebook. But the

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>other one can be deployed useful endeavors, including capturing your

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>not yet perfect thoughts. It's good to capture these things.

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>One of them will probably turn into something in all

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that new school year energy can be put to good

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>use in the meantime. This is Laura. Thanks for listening,
