Plotter is a Japanese company that does what Japanese companies do best: build things like a goddamned brick shithouse. Their bread and butter is binders—sleek, modular little contraptions that range from journals to organizers. The one that’s got my attention is the “Mini 5,” their smallest offering. Think of it as a wallet on steroids, with just enough organizer functionality to make you feel like you’ve got your life together.

I’d pull the trigger on one, but here’s the rub: I know myself. Systems like this last about two weeks before my discipline crumbles into dust. Then I’m stuck lugging around a binder I don’t need, full of plans I’ll never follow. Still, it’s tempting. Damn tempting.
