I use Reeder and Instapaper instead of Flipboard and Pocket but otherwise I have a similar workflow for Google Reader and 'read later' stuff.

Wood (combustible material) seems too close to the range top.

@Trishdom, Settings\Calls\Call Screening\Off. Turning it off messes with how GV and your cell phone (or any other phone connected to the number) handles voicemail, though.

Are you on iPhone/iPad? Use GV Mobile+ and Talkatone. Better than the official Google Voice app.

Cigar boxes are great for pens and pencils. Rum cake tins without the lids for paper clips, rubber bands, etc. Tall coffee tins and religious candles for rulers, scales, tracing paper, etc.

Jar shelving like this is great for art supplies or fastener (nails, screws) storage.

Would change the e-reader, computer, tablet/stylus and backup for an iPad and Dropbox, unless you won't have access to internet cafes. Resize your maps so you can fold them into your notebooks. Need a laminated copy of your passport (keep a scan of it on your digital device as well), a compact & super-absorbant towel, some string (wrap things together, impromptu drying line, etc.), rubber bands, emergency whistle.

Looks like most of your clothing would work well together and layer well, but maybe a solid-color scarf would be more versatile?

I use the Speck SmartShell (https://www.speckproducts.com/tablet-ipad-cases/ipad-2-cases/smartshell-for-ipad-2.html). It's very thin and comes with a magnet on the side opposite the Smart Cover hinge to hold the Cover in place when open to solve the flapping problem. The iPad with the SmartShell goes into an Incase sleeve when traveling.
