Writable Whiteboard Timepieces

Never Forget Your To-Do List with the Memo Clock

— August 31, 2013 — Art & Design
The memo clock is a helpful way to keep track of your daily tasks.

This clock doubles as a whiteboard so you can write a list right on the clock. Before going to bed a great idea would be to write what needs to get done the next day. As soon as you wake up, you'll see what you've written and won't forget something important like a doctor's appointment or an anniversary. The clock comes with an erasable pen, so when plans change you can easily update your list.

The clock itself is minimalist and beautiful. The bright red hands stands out against the milky white background. To not overcrowd the block with too much information, only the numbers 12, three six and nine are written.

A neat idea would be to write down an appointment and draw a line to what time it takes place on the clock.
Trend Themes
1. Interactive Timekeeping - Clocks that double as whiteboard to-do lists offer opportunities for interactive timekeeping and productivity tools.

2. Home Decor - Home decor companies can design minimalist clocks with added functionality, providing solutions that combine aesthetic appeal and practicality.
3. Office Supplies - Office supply companies can create writable whiteboard timepieces for productive task management in the workplace, improving employee efficiency and organization.
