Does Stationery Make You Happy??

A survey conducted in the UK shows that people are comforted by simple stationery items like pens, pencils, notepads, and diaries. (https://bit.ly/2KWZXG8)

I know I always have a diary and a pen or pencil with me.

So could stationery actually provide a balm for our overloaded, over-digitalized lives? Psychology writer Oliver Burkeman thinks perhaps it can.

“I definitely feel like my life is more under control when things are on a list, but the interesting question, I suppose, is why that feels more the case with a paper notebook than a digital list,” he says.

“Perhaps it’s because the world of digital technology is ultimately mysterious – I don’t truly understand how my laptop or smartphone work, after all – whereas a paper notebook is physical, down-to-earth, easily understandable.”

But in an ironic twist, it’s actually on the internet that stationery is currently most celebrated. A recent survey showed the 68 % of people who purchased their stationery online, rated the experience as enjoyable, compared to the 32% who had to physically visit an outlet as they didn’t have the option of shopping online.
