You can add a lot to your tech to expand its use. Hardware, software, etc. can all make your equipment work harder, but have you ever considered making your laptop lid a part of your productivity process? The DrawAttention is a whiteboard decal that turns the dead space on the back of your notebook computer screen into something rather useful.

The plastic on the outside of your laptop is mostly an afterthought, it can get cracked, damaged, colored and spilled on, it’s really just there to make sure the important circuits and keys on the inside stay safe and sound. But that space could be working for you with the simple addition of a DrawAttention board. The white board that attaches to your laptop.

The board is compatible with both Macs and PCs, and you draw on it using standard dry erase markers. It comes in a number of different versions for different sizes, and if you’re a little worried about ruining your precious laptop or screen with a decal, they suggest some covers you can use as protection. The thing is this can be quite useful. You can let people know you’re working/studying and not to bother you, or that you’re not doing anything and to please come bug you. People can leave notes for you in a spot that you’re sure to see it. Or you can leave notes for yourself. The possibilities are endless.  The DrawAttention starts at $12.
