One of those nice traveling Bluetooth speakers about half the size of a brick. Whenever I travel I bring it and it is a huge improvement having music that sounds good everywhere.

Reinforced binder paper where the holes are triangles and reinforced with tape. I hadn't had to deal with my papers getting ripped out of a binder/refillable notebook since getting them
