I’m another who does better with magnets. I have ones that have hooks on them and ones that are clips. We got all of them from Harbor Freight for super cheap. The books hold the container I keep our pens in (each family member has their own colored pen so when something is added to the family calendar we know at a glance who that event belongs to) I also use the books to hold keys that are less used (shed keys, our neighbors spare, the mower etc) the clips are what a I use for menus, shopping lists, weekly overviews.

I love the look of cork and chalk but I loose pins and the chalk dust creates more cleaning than I want. So we have a whiteboard, shelf with “mailboxes” for my kids and a small cork section to hold things that are not to be lost but need to be used in the future like concert tickets, vouchers etc.

We have to tweak our mail sorting system which is a big reason I’m following along. It’s gotten out of hand.,
