You aren't even going to believe this, but this product is both a mouse pad and a notepad. And if you're really creative, you might be able to use it as other sorts of pads too (hot pad, shoulder pad, brake pad [note: we heartily recommend not using this item as a brake pad]). If you choose to use this product for its intended purpose, you can spend each week writing whatever you want, and then tear off the sheet for a new place to write whatever you want. Or you can do that sooner than every week. It's your notepad. We aren't trying to tell you how to use it.
