Studies show that your energy and concentration levels are at their highest in the hours just after you’ve had a good night’s rest. So, one good idea is to check emails in the afternoon to protect the peak energy hours for the most important things.

But this doesn’t mean you have to leap out of bed and immediately put your nose to the grindstone. Sometimes it’s good just to book some ‘me time’ on your whiteboard year planner.

Focusing on yourself in the morning can energise you for whatever issues the rest of the day brings.

You could do some meditating, listen to audio books, do a regular work out or write diary entries. Because whiteboard year planners have small spaces to work with, use code letters – like ‘M’, ‘AB’, ‘WO’ and ‘DE’.

4. Stop waiting for perfect conditions

Some people believe that they need to wait for the ‘most opportune time’ or ‘optimum conditions’ before undertaking major projects or making strategic changes.

The problem with this philosophy Is perfectionism is the antithesis of productivity – if you wait for things to be perfect, you can end up not even trying.

Use your whiteboard year planner to make sure that your goals remain the centre of attention and that they get done, rather than just talked about.

5. Avoid multi-tasking

We often have to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously, so it seems obvious that focusing on several important tasks at the same time is a great way to save time.

While multi-taking may seem to be an admirable modus operandi, actually it’s been proven that multi-tasking has a negative effect. It reduces creativity and it’s harder to remember important details.

Perhaps more importantly, it causes a higher ratio of mistakes leading to diminished productivity.

Mapping out your major tasks on a whiteboard year planner is an effective way to juggle what you need to accomplish without having to resort to multi-tasking.

Porcelain-coated steel boards

Porcelain whiteboards are steel boards with a kind of high-performance ceramic coating. Durable, scratch-resistant and able to handle repeated heavy use, these boards are some of the best on the market.

That said, while porcelain boards are much easier to clean than other, cheaper alternatives, they’ll still “ghost” eventually – a form of staining that occurs from a gradual buildup of marker ink.

So, what is a glass whiteboard?

A glass whiteboard is made of tempered glass making it durable, stain-resistant and incredibly easy to clean. Because glass is non-porous, glass whiteboards just don’t stain or “ghost”. They are the easiest whiteboards to maintain overall. They’re also one of the toughest on the market, specifically because of how the glass is tempered. No dents, no scratches.

What is tempered glass?

Tempered glass - a.k.a. “toughened glass” - is a type of safety glass that has undergone a process to put it under counteracting molecular forces. Through chemical or thermal treatments, the interior of the glass is put into tension while the outer surface goes into compression. With pushing and pulling forces working against each other, the overall pane of glass becomes much tougher .

Tempered glass is hard to break, but if it does it has an added safety feature: rather than breaking into knife-like shards, it shatters into small, pebble-like chunks. These chunks are much safer than the big sharp pieces that traditional glass breaks into.

Due to its safety and strength, tempered glass is used across a wide range of demanding applications. Everything from car windows, to shower doors, to - you guessed it - glass whiteboards are made from tempered glass.

How are tempered glass whiteboards made?

Our tempered glass whiteboards are made through a process called thermal tempering. Thermal tempering involves subjecting glass to an extreme heating process followed by rapid cooling. This extreme temperature change causes the glass surface to compress, resulting in an extremely tough outer surface with a tensioned glass core.

When preparing glass for thermal tempering, it must first be cut to size and edged. Trying to alter tempered glass after the tempering process results in loss of strength and even breakage.

Next, the glass board begins a heat treatment. This involves the glass travelling through a tempering oven where the glass will reach more than 600 degrees Celsius.

Finally, the board is cooled in a process called “quenching”. This is a high-pressure, rapid cooling procedure in which air blasts the surface of the glass. Quenching the glass causes the outer surface to cool much faster than the centre. This  causes the centre of the glass to try to “pull back” from the cooling outer surface. The overall result: the centre of the glass stays in tension and the outer surface stays in compression.

When this pane of glass is used for a whiteboard you get a material that is incredibly durable.

How are tempered glass whiteboards magnetised?

To make the glass board magnetic, a steel sheet coated with a chosen colour is laminated onto the back of a sheet of glass. To be clear here: the glass itself does not have magnetic properties.

Due to the thickness of the glass, our magnetic glass boards require the use of extra-strong rare earth magnets. These special magnets have a deep enough magnetic field to penetrate the 4-6mm glass pane to interact with the steel backing. Ordinary fridge magnets, on the other hand, just can’t manage it.

What makes magnetic glass boards so special?

Magnetic glass boards are relative newcomers to the whiteboard market but they’ve made a splash in the best way.

Where conventional whiteboards rely on dry-erase coatings as a performance layer,  the glass of a magnetic glass whiteboard IS the performance layer. They don’t stain, even after years of heavy use.

With a magnetic glass whiteboard, you’re not just getting a whiteboard, you’re buying a tool designed specifically to streamline your workplace processes.

Sleek, modern design

Magnetic glass boards are a dream to use, but they’re just as good to look at. Made from crystal-clear glass, they’re as beautiful as they are versatile – reminiscent of Scandinavian design principles in the best way.

Magnetic glass boards are sleek, functional, and versatile with a focus on natural, hard-wearing materials. They’re built as much for hard use as for style – a marriage of form and function that makes them truly singular.

A sustainable, durable product

Glass whiteboards are top of the whiteboard tree. Made from tempered glass, they’re the most durable whiteboards available making them an incredibly sound investment. They don’t scratch, dent or rust, making them ideal for use in high-traffic situations or as mobile glass boards.

As for maintenance, magnetic glass boards are the easiest whiteboards to clean and use. They stand up to repeated, heavy use with only a quick wipe-down required between brainstorming sessions.

A noticeboard and whiteboard in one

Our magnetic glass boards are also multi-functional. The magnetism means they can double as a noticeboard.

And it’s not just notes that can benefit from magnetisation. Imagine it: no more losing whiteboard markers to the clutter gods - simply attach a rare earth magnet to the pen and it can stick to the board ready for the next person to use.

Magnetic glass boards - the full story

Magnetic glass boards are some of the most versatile glass whiteboards on the market. Combining the strength and durability of glass whiteboards with the functionality of a noticeboard, our magnetic glass boards are where it’s at.

Our magnetic glass whiteboards even come with a lifetime warranty, and for good reason: with minimal maintenance, a magnetic glass board will be the last whiteboard you ever need to purchase. Until, of course, you realise that while one magnetic glass board is good then two would be even better!
