Reddit mentions: The best copyholders

Sure. Create a new folder on your computer, or in your Google Drive, and create the following individual documents:

1. Bucket List
   
2. 5-Year Plan
   
3. Current Responsibilities
   
4. NOW
   
5. What's on my plate?
   
   Bucket list:
   
   Create a bullet-point list & simply start writing out stuff you want to do before you die. Do you want to travel? If so, anywhere specifically? Italy? Disneyland? White Castle? Do you have a dream job? Do you want kids? Fancy house, fancy car?
   
   If money was no longer a concern, what would you do? If you had to work, but didn't require a paycheck, what would you do for free? If you wanted to devote your time to charitable causes, how would you help out? Doctors without borders? Donations? Soup kitchen work? Donate to Goodwill?
   
   Here is an excellent article about making a "life list":
   
   https://www.raptitude.com/2009/09/how-to-make-a-life-list-youll-actually-do-a-comprehensive-guide/
   
   Two key tips:
   
   
6. Instead of making a list of wishes, make a list of intentions. Daydreams are great & it's wonderful to want things to happen, like winning the lottery, but rather than being dependent on that, why not make a list of stuff you actually want to DO?
   
7. On that topic, make it personal! Which should be obvious, but many people have never really taken the time to think about what they specifically & personally want.
   
   5-year plan:
   
   Life sometimes has such dramatic shifts that you couldn't imagine you'd be where you are now just five years ago. So long-term, life is kinda hazy, and the bucket list takes care of the waypoints along the route, but a 5-year plan gives you a clear & bright lighthouse to paddle towards. Are you going to finish a certificate, a 2-year degree, or a 4-year degree in that time? Are you going to move up the ladder at work? Are you going to be making $20k more than you are now? Are you going to be driving that car you really love? Are you going to be living in a different city? Do you want to be married by then? What's the plan?
   
   I should note that I've never met anyone who actually took all 5 years to accomplish their 5-year plan...most people get it done far sooner, simply because they've bothered to figure out exactly what they want to accomplish, which gives them something to work on, and when you work on stuff, stuff gets done!
   
   Current responsibilities:
   
   This is a simple bullet-point list, broken down into 5 categories:
   
   
8. Personal
   
9. Family
   
10. Religion (can also be "philanthropy" or "charity")
    
11. Jobs (this includes education)
    
12. Hobbies (side gigs, hobbies, projects, and so on)
    
    Each category has two types of things:
    
    
13. Stuff you have to deal with, because life
    
14. Stuff you invite into your life
    
    For example, you HAVE to deal with eating, or your will die. But you may or may not have a Playstation to manage. Some things are forced upon us with no choice, and others we choose to invite into our lives & need to be taken care of, like owning a pet. Flesh out those 5 categories above with topics & sub-topics. Under "personal", for example, put in a bullet point for "Health & Fitness". That can then include 4 sub-bullet points: exercise plan, sleep hygiene, meal prep, and stress management. What's your long-term goal for your body? Do you want to get shredded? How are you going to make that happen?
    
    NOW:
    
    Imagine running into an old friend you haven't seen in years & they ask you what you've been up to. That's basically what a NOW page is. The concept was created by Derek Sivers; here's some additional reading on it:

  I don't use the NowNowNow webpage because my goals are personal, but you get the idea - what's your hot project right now? What are you focused on doing? What's up with your life? This not only serves to help you get focused, but also to say "no" to taking on additional responsibilities. Personally, I get overly-excited about stuff & am also a people-pleaser & want to say "yes!" to EVERYTHING! But, I also have stuff that I personally want to accomplish, and having my Now page clearly-defined forces me to be honest with myself about my current projects. In fact, I have a swing-arm document clip on my computer monitor, where I keep a printed-out copy of my current Now page within my eye line at all times, just to help keep me on track:

  One thing I've modified on my Now page is what I call the "Motivation Cradle". I like to be actively engaged in a hot project...and I also like to have one waiting in the wings for me when that one is done. In your OP, you mentioned wanting a purpose...having a purpose can be a big question, and having stuff on your Now page is half the battle, especially in terms of having something to feel motivated about, but I've found that I get an additional boost of motivation when I also have something exciting lined up to work on next.
  
  If you're in say, college, then your Now page is "Student in sophomore spring semester", for example - and perhaps your next project is going on on a cross-country driving tour with your roomates this summer. So you've got something to be plugged into right now, and you've got something to look forward to being plugged into next. If you've ever gotten sucked into a video game or a TV show, then you know exactly the feeling I'm talking about. Or even if you know you're going out to your favorite restaurant later to order your favorite dish off the menu, then that sort of anticipation is just a really wonderful thing to have in your life!
  
  What's on my plate?
  
  This is basically like the "this week" version of the Now page. Once a week, I sketch out a mind-map of everything that I'm feeling pressured by for the coming week...I've got an essay due, I've got to fix that leak in my roof, I gotta go see the new Avengers Endgame movie before everyone spoils it for me, etc.
  
  part 1/2

You gotta have some photos of friends, family, pets, pretty views, etc. For those moments when you just need to see some loved ones or transport yourself somewhere else.

Also, ladybug cubicle clips or any other fun style of cubicle clip that you like because they are super useful and cute at the same time :)

And that's how I "Pimp my cube" :D

EDIT- holy crap there's sheep and bees and TURTLES TOO! So much cute!

I have a document processing class that comes with two books and the flimsiest document holder in the world! It's just one long strip of cardboard folded into a triangle, and it doesn't stay up if you take the book off to flip a page. The document holder on my school/job wishlist would make my life way easier.

Make sure to compliment your robot overlord once it comes and overtakes your home!

FYI, to keep the cost down, I ordered one of these to hold the antenna in place. Will try it with his antenna next weekend. It'll be hilariously stupid, but if it works, great!

Useful things? My dual-monitor desktop with a fancy keyboard, a bottomless coffee cup, my colored pens and fancy notebooks, plenty of scratch paper. Not so useful things? An aloe plant, a bowling pin, and a sign of my sports fandom.

Actually, something that's very handy is a paper organization system. I have one of these to hold random desk papers, plus a small filing cabinet. I like having a tidy desk. Also, even the cheapest document holder for reading things while using the computer.

r/bujo is useful for finding simple, non artsy bullet journals. I've done bullet journalling for a while now and the simpler it is for you the more likely you'll use it regularly. I would also recommend an organizer: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MQOZ56O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DpkxCbYSWPCG2

I use mine to keep all of my pens, pencils and bullet journal in one location so I'm less likely to lose it. I bought mine off a site called MochiThings but Amazon sells similar ones.

Would something like this work? [3M Monitor Mount Document Clip] (https://amazon.com/dp/B001SR1242/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SAuEDbMME85Y9) or this: Plastic Monitor Mount Copyholder

Like this?: Document holder

You reminded me...back in my day we had this:

https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Desktop-Document-Adjustable-Positions/dp/B00C0Q0UDE/

It would clip to the side of your monitor, and the little plastic line-highlighter would highlight the current line of BASIC from the issue of BYTE magazine you were copying code out of.

I think you just want a copy holder.

You need a document easel.

Typists used to use them, they're still a thing.

The first one is a document holder. You put a document on it so you can refer to it while typing.

https://www.amazon.com/Easel-Document-Holders-Adjustable-Inches/dp/B001PLIGU4

This is only $10 and adjustable, more durable and has a place-holder.

"It's a feature so you can clip your work to your screen"

The next generation of this

The alternative is to do the travelers notebook idea below but rather than have a actual cover w/ elastic get a sort of mini-bag or document holder that can have more than one, with space for your pens etc. I have / am trying the traveler notebook idea but find it most annoying when the one I want to use won't lie flat because of the others.
