As a follow-up to previous post, I collected my writing implements into one place and posted an annotated photo on Flickr.
As usual, click through to the Flickr page to see the annotations.

Where are the napkins (or margins of other notes) for short proofs?
I actually use the index cards for that. Although it tends to be order-of-magnitude calculations rather than algebra.
Napkins are the way to go.
Plus, I always have them around.
They’re very versatile—I use them for calculations, to remind myself of songs to download, etc.
One time when I was visiting, Megan saw me take one of my coffee napkins, hunt for a pencil, and start writing and then gave me this really weird look and asked if I wanted some paper—as if it weren’t normal for me to write stuff down on the nearest napkin. Imagine that.
