Some of my favorite organization tools come from the good folks at Three by Three Seattle (link to their FaceBook fan page) who I first ran into at the NY Stationery Show. Today I’ve got their Glass and Magnetic Weekly Planner that they sent over for me to review.
As with all of the Three by Three Seattle products that I’ve seen, the design is very clean and uncluttered. All of their products are designed in a way that they can fit nicely in almost any home or office design. This particular version has kind of pale lime green coloring to it, but they do also have one that comes with a white background. The board itself measures 31.5″ x 8″ and was very easy to hang on my wall. It comes with everything you need to hang it (other than tools like a screwdriver or drill) as well as two strong magnets and a dry erase marker with an eraser built into the cap.
If you take a look at the picture above you can see all of the ridiculously exciting things I’ll be doing this week. You can even get a little bit of a sneak peek at two of the upcoming reviews, but if you don’t want to ruin the surprise then don’t look at the larger picture.
My only (super minor) gripe with the board is with the dry erase marker that comes with it. It isn’t the best dry erase marker, and the cap itself doesn’t post, so you are left holding it in your other hand while you write down your tasks for the week. Again, not the end of the world, and quite frankly the design and usefulness of this Glass and Magnetic Weekly Planner far outweighs the minor issue with the dry erase marker. Instead just grab yourself something like these low odor dry erase markers from Expo to use with the magnetic dry erase board.
I’m always happy to recommend the Three by Three products here on the blog because the design and quality are second to none. Additionally, it is always nice to know that you are spending your hard-earned money with a company that is run by such good people. With that said, thanks to Gwen over at Three by Three, and if you want to read a little more about Gwen and her company, check out this write-up we did a few months ago in our “Whats on Their Desk” series.
