What to do to get more organized?

What is an original and fun present to get a 22 year old male who is organized, neat, minimalist, and academic?

• Very organized, kind of a neat freak, doesn't like a lot of "stuff", academic minded

• Answer:

  Wow, are you sure you're not talking about me? :P Do they already have a moleskin notebook? If not, that could make a great addition to their neat, organized lifestyle. As mentioned, a kindle or e-books in general could also be good. There are also some more good ideas at http://zenhabits.net [1], a popular blog espousing a minimalist lifestyle. But if your friend is a true minimalist, consider not getting them anything at all. Opt for giving them an experience instead. Does he like picking up new hobbies? Sign him up for an interesting class you think he might like. It could be related to his academic interests (for example, learn origami together if he has a taste for mathematics) or not. Does he read a lot? Take him to an old used bookstore that's off the beaten path; don't buy anything, just spend an afternoon floating in a sea of words. Does he like music? Find a concert at a small venue showcasing a new artist that might appeal to his tastes. Whatever you do, it doesn't have to be too flashy; a simple, memorable experience can be a very meaningful gift. Good luck! [1] http://zenhabits.net/top-20-life-improving-christmas-gifts-for-under-10/
