    So glad that you are back. I also saw the burnout video and I was worried. Sorry, I know we don't know each other, but I admire you due to your capacity to talk with us instead of to us 😁. I hope you're fully recovered. You're a smart guy - listen to your inner voice and ignore everyone else. Mind yourself.

    Hey Marcus! Terrific - trying to plot out how I can live a bit more while still working.
    I've a device recommendation that I think you may like. Supernote Nomad A6x2. I've loved writing on my iPad with a paper effect screen protector, and the Supernote has blown me away. Very fine point ceramic nib + a self healing plastic surface. Perfect level of resistance. Helping me be more productive & mentally healthy.

    For the cologne, you should get a couple of those new travel atomizers, to fill them, you just take the spray top off of your cologne bottle, and press the travel one down on to the top, it decants it directly into the travel bottle, and they are much smaller and atomizes better than that spray bottle you showed, and you don't waste any of the cologne.

    • @MarcusCreates

    Good vid! The only improvement you could make to your toiletries, is switch to solid products as much as possible (eg: toothpaste tablets, solid cologne, solid deodorant, etc...) 👍👍👍

    • @MarcusCreates
      @MarcusCreates  2 месяца назад

      I’m not a fan of solid toothpaste. Just not for me. But on the cologne etc makes sense. I was trying to make a point that you can actually bring all of your usual products without compromise if you just and a bit of an effort. But great ideas here also.

  • @shelz0rtf2
    @shelz0rtf2 2 месяца назад

    May not be sufficient for very long trips but for weekend trips and such I use contact lens cases for small amounts of moisturizer, skin care, hair products, etc. for an even more compact dopp kit. They're attached in pairs so you can group things by morning vs evening routines too.

    • @MarcusCreates

    Do we worry about fountain pens on a flight these days? I’d always thought taking a fountain pen up into the air was just a great way to get ink over everything. Is that problem a thing of the past (or was it never an issue at all)?

      It makes travel easier to be honest if you have the option of an EU and US passport (if you’re living in the US). EU passport is likely the best passport in the world so if you can have only one, go for that one. Access to more countries.
