Organize Your Desk With Magnets

Dynomighty Design Inc. refers to these magnets as a "versatile desk accessory" that can be used as an organizer, picture holder, desk sculpture, business card holder and stress reliever. I agree, these Desk Dots can be used for organizing, but I’m afraid I’d play with these super powerful ceramic magnets and not get any work done! Check out this video to see just a sample of what they can hold together.

I do love the modern design and look for the magnets. I could imagine them holding receipts or business cards on my desk before I enter each into my database. According to the FAQ on Dynomighty website, I wouldn’t want them to close to my iMac .

The nice thing about this organizing product is they will never break or fall apart. That is, unless you have a ‘hot’ project on your desk which ignites a fire over 250 degrees Fahrenheit. What are your thought? Are they worth the price of $20.00? Do you think they’re more useful as an organizing tool or as a toy that relieves stress? Leave a comment below with your response.

    It’s a neat idea, but isn’t it a bit risky to use such strong magnets on a desk where computers might be? Although maybe it’s not that dangerous since the magnets are attracted to each other… hmm wish I knew more physics! haha

    This is now our best selling product, a kind of contemporary Newtons pendulum that I hope will become the next big thing in desk organization.

    As to the question about magnetism and computers – obvious cautionary steps should be taken – keeping them 3-4 inches from any sensitive material – however you would have to have some intent on doing damage since computer hard drives are protected from magnetic influence by a material that blocks magnetic force. Be safe and use common sense and you should be able to have fun and de-clutter your desk at the same time.

    Maybe more info than you wanted but the question is serious enough for a detailed response.

    Best wishes,
