7. Told yourself you couldn’t start a new task until you’d bought a notebook for it first.
8. Lied and said you didn’t have a pen because you didn’t want someone to take it.

11. Secretly harboured an intense jealousy of anyone with nicer handwriting than you.

14. Winced when someone asked to borrow a piece of paper because it means ripping a page from your precious notepad.

18. Bought a pen that you knew was way too expensive and you’d probably never use because you "needed it".
